Also, depending on the country, the job may be extreme hours, low pay (GPs in particular), and huge stress coming from legal risk. While that does not excuse general assholery, after hearing a lot of stories from the field, including from my brother who's just finishing his medical degree, I'm much more sympathetic to even rude doctors. Theirs is a thankless profession.

>Theirs is a thankless profession.

That seems like a nice outline of the symptoms, but can we get a diagnosis?

Seen the average size of a GP's house in the UK? It's not a coincidence that they often have expensive hobbies like flying, yachting, etc..

GPs earn about £50,000 to £80,000.

Incorrect:

'The average GP earns an average salary of £90,000, but doctors can earn more by linking up surgeries, making record earnings by managing tens of thousands of patients. Figures revealed more than 200 ‘Super GPs’ in the NHS earned more than £200,000 a year in 2015/16. Four were on salaries between £400,000 and £450,000 while 11 were paid between £300,000 and £350,000 a year.'

'Britain’s highest earning GP paid at least £700,000 a year'

I understand there are those for whom criticism of the NHS is sacrilege, but the current situation doesn't look much like sustainable socialised medicine to me.

Your comment violates HN's guidelines and I suppose code of conduct if there is one.
