having been through this exact situation, I get the point of the meme, and realize their intent was that "doctor" should be read as "healthcare industry". Just poor word choice. Other side of the story, the healthcare professionals that cared for him where wonderful and did everything they could for him and I am totally OK with them getting paid for their efforts.

The sad thing is that the people who do the actual work barely see any of the money.

Especially the ones at the insurance companies where the patients medical decisions are ACTUALLY made.

They get paid in countries with a decent healthcare system as well

My wife had a miscarriage a few years back. Yeah. All we got for our trouble was a massive bill. 0/10. Fuck this shit and this place.
