I sure hope so curiousuburb!
I spoke with a few of my aunts today. Two were nurses, and the other works as a nurse for a cardiologist. 2 out of the 3 said it's a good idea, and the one that works for the cardiologist said to think it through.
Her main point was that if we are moving to a more "socialized medicine" (for lack of a better term) then doctor's incomes will drop. I'm not at all convinced that's where we're headed, but it's something to think about. Now I'm not doing this to get rich (although that would certainly be a welcomed surprise)...i just want to be reasonably sure I'd be able to pay off the debt that I will undoubtedly find myself in after med school and be able to make a career out of it without going broke.
