what you call 'almost no work' i call long, tedious, painful years of studying and learning how to examine someone and be able to say with a large amount of certainty that they're fine and can go home, carry on with their life.
also, if you'd rather pay 2000$ for the doctor to tell you your spine is fractured and you'll probably never walk again, i'm sure it could be arranged by a prior shove down some stairs. just tell the hospital staff you think they don't deserve to get paid because you've arrived to your check-up healthy and i'm sure they'll be more than happy to oblige.
I think you should get paid based on the work you do. A five minute checkup showing your completely fine should be close to nothing. One that diagnoses a problem, however.....
Yeah, I mean you're kinda paying to have someone who specializes in a certain skill look at you. For example: you want to buy a house but before you do you have a guy come look at it. He charges you 150.00 because he fucking knows houses. You don't go up to a hobo and go, "dude, check out this house."
It's the same principle except it's your health and instead of black mold it's a black mole.
Then don't go to a doctor. Go to a hobo, go to your neighbor, fuck it strip down and walk outside let the cops do it. Let them check your anus for cancer, look in your throat for lumps and shit, and check your cholesterol. I guarantee it'll be cheaper and not effective whatsoever when there actually is a problem.
@matthewg@third is probably too busy seeing the the person I referred 'em to Dr. Giggles. Get this, by day the guy is a children's party clown, and by night he does full body check ups. Usually in male bathrooms downtown. And he even pays you 20.00 to touch your testicals!
@third, people have tried to explain you this stuff in a million ways (thank you!) so... as a future doctor i don't really know what else tell you except [puts professionalism aside] fuck you very much you ungrateful, igonrant shit. [gets back into the professional pants]
So yeah, I'm writing you off as a lost cause.
You're intentionally wasting my and everyone's time wanting us to re-explain things to you instead of easily re-reading and trying to absorb the information already given to you? What a joke. Good luck navigating life.
hey dumbass, for your sake and other people's sake, try and tune down the ignorance a lil bit okay? bc this truly is getting fucking depressing now.
also, to recap: why should doctors get paid for that 5 min exam after which they tell you you're a-okay? because it takes skill and knowledge to determine that you're a-okay. medical professional have to do years of hard hard work to become capable of telling you in 5 DAMN MINUTES that you're a-okay so you can go home happy, knowing you're lucky and have no medical problems. you should be grateful: a) for you health (tons of people aren't that lucky) and b) for the fact that medical professionals are obliged to take care of everyone, even the assholes that claim we don't deserve our (usually p. miserable) wages. additionally, there's a c) option: be grateful that there still are people like myself who are faced with bizzare lack of gratitude and acknowledgement every day and YET we still walk on though the pain and finish medschool etc.
i mean i could just say fuck it and drop out of this hell of an university and go do some economy stuff, get a nice comfy life and every one of my collagues could do the same.
....then good luck finding a professional who would know how do cure your strep angina or, in your particular case, a bad example of a head-up-arseitis (although i dont think the latter could be helped by some antibiotics).
honestly, i sometimes wish we all would. why should i bust my ass for 6 years + residency + who knows how many years of hard work ? wages? get a lot more a lot easier in some other field. fucking gratitude? like i'm gonna get any. to help the human race survive? now THAT'S A JOKE.
Well, yeah, doctors should get paid a lot, and at the same time they shouldn't. As with firemen, police, military, and, well, pretty much any kind of emergency worker.
*wink wink nudge nudge
It's cool you can tell me. It's just you and me here.

People are being very patient with you.
I really hope you're trolling. The alternative is depressing to think about.
I guess you're not trolling after all.
