Seems to be the case for any credentialed job. The thought of being a lawyer or a doctor whose entire livelihood can be removed with the stroke of a pen scares the shit out of me.

This almost ever happens to doctors or lawyers in practice

* never

I once had a friend who was facing a serious trial. But we had to wait for his lawyer to get out of prison to represent him. I don't think they are held to the same standard.

If doctors or lawyers lost their livelihood for one mistake, we wouldn't have any doctors or lawyers.

You dont know how many doctors feel trapped by their profession. My ex didnt get mental help because it would stop her getting residencies.

Doctors, like DoD/contractors, Bankers, anything hi paying really; give their lives to their job. That includes limiting what they do at home, where they travel, who they speak too, how they act "out of the office".

Getting a career or sticking to a career are not indicative of happiness, security, or comfort.

The hardest part of that for most people is reducing their lifestyle to something more sustainable. Many have gotten pretty comfortable with all the creature comforts with little to no thought about how to maintain that.
