hi julielai,

 where are you from?

I agree with you,it's really a kind of philosophy. Tobe a doctor, I'm very surprise when hearing someone thinks this profession could make us rich. As you see, it's very difficult to attend Medicine university in my country. You should be better than100 others students. It means ten thousand students take enter examination, ,only one hundred students can follow this career. However, it's only a honour . Doctor doesn't have a good salary. Let's imagine! Before we join in WTO, our salary is under 50 dollars per month. And now, there is a change, in the prelude to mondialization   in order to purchase some means of media with  cheaper price, our salary increases, approximately 100 dollars per month while those who work in the field of economic area, may gain a thousand dollars  Some doctors in a big city could have their Doctor's office to ameliorate their life, if people's standard of living  around them is high. But we have our Hippocrate oath when we become qualified.We sworn to observe the medical code of ethical and professional behavior. In our country, we usually promise to be a new socialist person, whole- hearted for our people while in  some other countries, doctors swear  if they don't give whole -hearted help to their patient, to cure them of disease, to save their life, they will have a miserable life and suffer great misfortune.
There are twoFrench practitioners who registered for voluntary work in our health center. The husband is a famous surgeon while his spouse is a good anaesthetist. We were very happy because it's a good condition for us to practise our profession and it's also a rare occasion to practise languages such as French and English. However, our director told us that we couldn't give our guesses and at the same time our teacher, a relative standard of living in our "dry field,salty water". Wedidn't dare to let them live in a common-room, eat rice at canteen twice a day. We couldn't afford them by paying accomodation, meals and some entertainment fees on holiday.  At the end, we should refuse their help with regret ( because of our limited fund) though they didn't ask us to pay anything for their salary. How glorious is our profession! Especially, in a developed country with high standard of living such as MSF, a voluntary heath organisation, they go everywhere  to cure people  of disease  without payment.

I' m a young doctor from Poland , and I have the same opinion about the doctor profession as you have. In Poland doctors income is much lower then people in other professions. Our goverment doesn't see the problem  that doctors looking for a job abroad, and they leaving Poland to live a better live. Now we have lack of doctors. I 'm making now a specialization and earn 250 euro per month- so it's raely sad . People who are studing medicine are going to leave our country. Old doctors in Poland have more money , but it's still not enought for the work they doing. They 're working for 10-12 h per day , they spend nights in hospital, they're working about 100 hours a week , and thanks this they have money , but they don't have time for familly , for hobbys , for rest.... Doctors in Poland are the group of society that have one of the lowest income , but I hope it'll change . We are going to strike!!!!

 i dont agree with u because if we become a doctor we should save people lives  and not to worry of money

Not talking about money, doctor is a good job, I think.
