Got this from a co-intern's friendster profile...
An excerpt from Toto.. Doctors are often accused of callousness, venality and self-infatuation. But they remind us that they have sacrificed the springtime of their lives, completely lost the precious years between their 20's and 30's acquiring skills to benefit their fellowmen. Furthermore, they had suffered deprivations. Most of them had not had more than a dozen real nights of sleep in all this time. Many have sacrificed their marriages and have lost the unique opportunity to see their children grow. So when they argue that the world owes them some compensation in the form of wealth, respect, and social status, their demands are not entirely without a cause. Also, as the grim statistics show, they often suffer worse than any patient. For no one can repair a broken marriage or restore the children's damage by their father's ostensible neglect.
Sad, but very true...
