I didn't even think about Donna Wood52—much less anything involving a fetish. Honestly.
Look, I’m already spoken for—and before you start, my guy isn't some med student or a doctor. Honestly? I couldn't care less about those fancy titles everyone seems to be collecting like trading cards these days. I value people based on their character and how kind they actually are—which, let's face it, is a pretty rare commodity lately—rather than what's printed on a diploma. 😉
I once met a doctor who was actually decent—truly competent—so I foolishly assumed they were all cut from the same cloth. Just to clear the air here: I don’t have some weird doctor fetish, regardless of what anyone might want to think. At least, I don't fall into that category of pathological fetishists.
To get back to the point—as one particularly sharp individual once pointed out—medical students are basically conditioned from day one to believe they’re some kind of superior species. It’s baked right into the curriculum. You see it all the time with certain doctors who are way too preoccupied with their own status; they won't even look at a patient if they don't think there's a profit in it. If you're just a kid with a brain tumor and no insurance, or some poor soul who can't afford the premium tier, they’ll look the other way. And don't even get me started on the lack of professional courtesy—you have plenty of them who are completely uncollegial, refusing to lend a hand to a peer during a test or a rotation just because they can. It's pathetic, really.
Look, at the end of the day—and I really mean this—every single profession has its fair share of problematic individuals. I wasn't trying to paint everyone with the same brush or make some sweeping generalization here.
I know this one GP—a general practitioner I occasionally drop in on when I need a prescription or something similar. He’s a perfectly decent guy—calm, kind, actually pretty funny once you get him talking. He splits his time between two very different worlds. One is this remote clinic way out in the middle of nowhere—think rural Montana or some isolated patch of the Ozarks—where he treats elderly patients and folks with disabilities. Honestly, it seems like a massive sacrifice given how desolate that area is. His other practice, though, is right here in the heart of the city.
Taylor Patel6 said:It’s honestly mind-boggling—one minute you’re grinding through years of medical school, pulling all-nighters, and basically sacrificing your entire youth to get that degree, and the next? You realize a freshly minted doctor is pulling in less than my hairstylist—and if I’m remembering correctly, even less than your average sanitation worker. It just doesn't add up. 🤔
👎👎👎
We could probably justify opening up an entirely new thread here—something along the lines of, "Why is there always this constant need to degrade cleaning crews?" ☕ Well, I suppose that’s just part of the job—nothing more, nothing less.
They need to be paid a little something too—just enough to cover their own damn messes, trash, and whatever other nonsense they leave behind. Beyond that, they’re still a family, aren't they? I mean, who else are they supposed to eat with?
And I won’t even get started on how most people look down their noses at them—it’s pathetic, really. You see these sanitation workers out there, and you realize some of them actually have college degrees just to spend their days cleaning up after kids in public schools. It’s a strange reality, isn't it?
And where exactly are you getting the idea that doctors have low salaries nowadays? What an absolute load of nonsense!
