Heh, this is getting OT I guess, but I've certainly found this thread amusing, my entire family are doctors.

But then I'm in the UK and I guess its a bit different in the US, there's not so much emphasis on money here because at best only half the work is private, so its more of a lifestyle choice than anything else (and over here there's no such thing as retakes in medicine).

Its interesting what you say about lack of competitiveness, from my experience there doesnt seem to be any difference from any other population group. I would imagine though that when you've had a good life doing a job where people look up to you in it, getting well paid etc. you dont really feel you have to prove anything anymore.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrright. docters are chumps. generally nice but weak. you cannot fail out of most medschools. you can keep taking classes until you pass. there are many, many, dumb, bad doctors. most are smart, granted but not any more so than 2+2ers i'm willing to say.

my experience is that they are aweful at any competition. they ran to the books b/c they needed money and status to feel important. i mean, who would do that job? most are great people i'm sure but that job down right sucks.

Is this post an example of how 2+2ers are on intellectual par with docters[sic]?

Piece of cake. Then you go through residency and work for days at a time for years trying not to kill people, no problem.

He's an OB in Vegas? He needs to do well at poker just to try to pay his malpractice insurance.

Just happened to run across this link while doing some archive work. Anyone happen to see the final table of the WSOP razz event? One guy was a doc who had never played the game before - had only read Phil's razz section on the plane.
