It's hard to judge exactally what the focus of this discussion is, but I'm going to break it down to professional recognition vs. long hours vs. pay.

Doctors are overpaid and underworked.
It's so damn easy in the US it's like stealing. Everyone should do 8 years plus schooling after highschool and then a number of years of low pay training with high hours. They should also try to raise a family during this and not see a decent paycheck until their 30's.
Stupid doctors. Greedy doctors.
The nerve of some people. I can't believe they want to get paid and be able to give their family every advantage.

sorry just got done going through some of the other comments, my understanding of the canadian system is some docs do make 7 figure salaries, they are very few and far in between, but there are private docs and private insurance companies so the best/most highly qualified docs are sought after and can charge the patient out of pocket.
I know a rhinologist there that make triple what i can make in ohio because the majority of his patients pay out of pocket, get outstanding care, and don't have to wait 1 to 2 years for an elective surgery.

IF you really knew what you were talking about, and didn't have a preconcieved notion skewing your opinion, you'd investigate these things. As is, you're ready to chalk it up to greed.
