Charles Sturm Jr., M.D. has no sympathy for the financial plight of residents (subscription required). He comments on the how house staff have a hard time passing up pharmaceutical-sponsored lunches:
Residents and fellows, despite their long hours (which are now capped), still make at or above the median income of American workers. If they are having trouble feeding themselves they might want to look at their discretionary spending.
Nice not to have to worry about medical school debt, right Dr. Sturm? I bet your house is paid off too.
