The greediest. The medical field DOES NOT attract the most intelligent nor the most humble. To get into Med school you have to jump through hoops, volunteer, join the Peace Corp, etc.
The most intelligent people do not elect to jump through hoops and instead would enter math, physics, computer science, engineering.....the one's not intelligent enough choose another science choose Law instead.
Medical draws ONLY those who seek status and money. No amount of hoops can keep the scum from lying and cheating to get that Dr. by their name and the "respect" it draws from low brow people because "damn I heard he makes 300k/year"
The desire for money and status is why we have a pain killer epidemic with people hooked on all sorts of unneeded drugs that they are convinced by the medical community that they need.
When was the last time you saw a surgeon on Jeopardy...wonder why?

The fact you conflate knowledge of trivia and intelligence lets me know all I need to know about your ability to produce informed opinions.

You obviously know nothing at all about anyone in the medical field.
I would say someone willing to sacrifice/devote a decade or more of their life(while others their age are living more carefree lives and enjoying their youth) to studying to become a doctor are doing it more than just for money/status.

Going full retard now. You know academic medical institutions are full of MD/PhD's that perform medicine, clinical research, basic science research, or some combination of the 3? Go take a glance at the faculty roster for a facility like MD Anderson, where they "jump through hoops" and "choose science". They see patients, they run labs, they manage investigative and therapeutic protocols.
You dont know what the frick you're talking about. You're projecting your ignorant perceptions across an entire industry. Your OP was, at least, a reasonable conversation to have. But now you just sound lazy and stupid.

Jesus, this is a whole ton of stupid all packaged into one post.
For starters, at the most elite schools, the greediest and most power hungry tend to congregate into three groups:
- Investment bankers/management consultants cum MBAs
- JDs
- Entrepreneurs arrogant enough to think they can make a billion by 30
Doctors tend to have a limited cap on lifetime income, so status and money tend to not play much of a role, especially these days in the post-PPACA world.

As a doctor, go frick yourself. I didn't think you could prove yourself any dumber in this thread, but damn son you outdid yourself.
