"Obamacare"

[steve dave]

I feel like if you’re confident you can excel at either law or medicine, the question is how long you expect to practice. Medical sure seems better to me long term since you spend a lot of time not making anything, but then you get a nice high salary and decent hours into your 70s or longer if you want.

Legal you can either make bank in the short term and transition to something more manageable, or you can keep grinding but would be tough to beat a good Dr. salary unless you’re bringing in your own business.

Yeah, my dream is to really get my ass whipped for no money for a shitload of years just to coast when I'm still rough ridin' working at 75. great point.

Someone want to explain why being a dermatologist is some unicorn career?

Relatively low stress. It pays well. You have normal office hours. It's relatively easy. Never on call. Relatively low risk. Don't have to see peoples' insides. I'm sure there are other reasons I'm missing, too.

I know all the pros.  I negotiated a contract for one at Stormont and he was being asked to take a cut during covid.  From 495k to less

my question is why is it hard to get that job?  He was a dummy

I can't speak for the competitiveness in Kansas. The Doctors and med students I know are in Texas. This is what they tell me. They state it as if it is a universal truth.

I would guess there is a really low chance of killing your customers.  That is probably worth a decent amt.

You could not pay me enough to have to deal with patients, insurance, odd hours, and the general stress that comes with being a doctor.

[Pete]

It doesn’t have to be that stressful.  Go into private practice as a specialist and set your own hours and don’t take any clients with government or shitty insurance.

1) Never on call.

2)Hours can be what your business determines them to be. Can see 50 patients a day.

3) “Dermatologist?? That’s one step up from the Clinique counter”/ George C.

Hand specialist is pretty sweet as well. Except on the 4th of July.

My concern is google lens and AI's ability to do the "yes, cancer"/"Not Cancer" thing.  Supposedly that is really accurate now.

Absolute truth. Might even be in your lifetime. Not mine. The radiologist will be a very limited role from what we see now as AI takes root. The ability to read entire complex studies in seconds, never tire, and not have to pay them will result in entire health systems changing.

Probably not though

[Dugout DickStone]

radiology will be the first I would think.

How many fingers do you think you'll have after visiting an AI hand specialist?
