Hey, poster above. Thanks for a SANE perspective.....at first I thought you were arguing with my post, but it sounds like a rebuttal to others...
For the guy thats $250k in debt (impactangel)...how did you manage that? The total cost for medschool for 1 year is about 40k (including room+board+food), and that's assuming you don't work even 10 minutes a week. The only way to rack up that much debt is to
1) have zero scholarship, plus
2) not work at ALL, plus
3) Go to med school for 4 years, plus
4) Buy a BMW 540 with full cash!!!
We all know that the last 3 years in residency pays at the poverty line, so you don't make any money but you don't lose either.
And, if you're feeling so bad about the debt, why did you do medicine to begin with? It seems hypocritical to complain about a debt but go for a MD anyways.
Also, if you're paying 250k in malpractice insurance, how much are you making!! You must be rolling in dough if you can afford to pay 250k every year, and yet not bail out of your specialty and go into family practice (where you still net 140k after medmal)!!!!
