I don't think doctors should get paid as much as they do.
If I get paid like a greeter at Walmart, do I get their hours too? When you start paying doctors like greeters, don't be thinking you can go to the ER at 3 a.m. for a problem, or that they'll be checking in on grandma on Saturday when she's in the hospital. Also, why be a doctor if you get paid like a greeter? Why go through 8 years of college and med school and three to eight years of residency? Why be on call every fourth night, up all night, and every single weekend during your entire residency? I'd rather be a greeter for the same money and start right out of high school.

Just my perspective.
