Personally, I wasn’t referring to doctors in my earlier post. I was referring to people who work in healthcare such as nurses, various therapists, various technicians, etc. Also, i wasn’t complaining about my compensation, but rather, i was commenting that no one goes into nursing or the other jobs i mentioned to get rich.
People who work in medicine such as doctors and mid level providers can certainly make quite a bit more, and those who specialize in certain areas such as anesthesia or orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery can make even more.
Then there’s the people who work in hospital administration. Most do the everyday grunt work and get paid what comparable administrative personnel would make elsewhere. The senior executives in hospital administration can make obscene amounts.

Oops../. I thought this was the mask thread...
Sorry.
You know how stoners can get sidetracked.

Been a little over ten years since my wife last saw a paycheck from LA county Health Dept.
Job title was physician specialist. She was an MD/MPH who had worked for the US Army,
and went to work for LA county. She worked for the county health dept for about 10 years.
She had at various points run the TB program and the STD programs for LA county.
Was done though pulling grants from the CDC.
She loved the work she did, and put more time into it than about anyone I knew.
Last year she worked, which was about ten years ago now, she made 85 grand.
The vast majority of that went to covering loans for the education.
She drove an old chevy that her pop bought her to go to school with.
We lived in LA, the cost of living is right on up there.
We lived a pretty frugal lifestyle, trying to pay back the
loans on education, which were massive.
We had the hopes of being able to do better once they were paid off.
We never got there. She had been the employee of
the year the last year that she worked there.
She found a problem with the vaccine used for HPV.
Gardasil is the name.
She attempted to go though channels to bring it to the
attention of those she had been taught to.
She was shit canned so fast it made my head spin.
She was no antivaxer.
Her thought was that the costs of developing the stuff is
so high now, that when they find "problems" the
expense of fixing them is such, that they end
up "fixing the paperwork" as opposed to the problem.
If one looks at meds introduced 20 years ago, a good
percentage are pulled just a few years later, due to problems.
Vaccines are no different than any other meds.
In this day and age, one is safer going with
older meds than with newer meds.
The word paradox haunts our society.
Most people go into medicine
not to make lots of money, but because
of the illness of a loved one when they were young.
Which is to say they went into it for noble reasons.
We have a system that is designed to take good
people who go into the profession with decent intent
into burnt out cynical script hustlers.
It works entirely too damned well.
Public health is a tried and true method
of dealing with epidemics that works.
I wear a mask, and carry spares for
others who may have need.

Comfortably numb!
i'm not arguing with you, merely disagreeing and making a few points of my own. should i stop quoting your words? did i tell you what to do??? i do not recall that...
i didnt mean you personally, i meant the collective you who want to force everyone to wear masks as soon as they step outside their houses. those that refuse to allow an adult to make his own decisions about his and his families health. those that would impose ever more laws for ever more "crimes" with ever more fines imposed for nonsensical technicalities.
i know how viruses transmit, i know how to keep my distance, i know when i need to wear a mask. i don't need to be lectured on the internet about it.
but the most important thing i know about these viruses is that they will go through the whole population sooner or later. after a while it will be just like getting the flue. everyone will have had it. or do you know people who never had the flue?

Too bad it's be made of dirt weed by herion addicts, convinced they can blow smoke up anyone's ass.
I have my doubts people care if they kill another. The POTUS just had 1000 people elbow to elbow with no mask. People see this and take his leed.

No, no Sunshine....hemp masks could be made from a factory, silly! I have an Attitude postal carrier bag from 15 years ago I still use. Also a few hats/caps.
There's a plethora selling on several sites. If they take PP, we're golden!!

As I looked into what it is that makes masks effective, I was given
an education into melt-blown extrusion that left me impressed with
what is behind the technology.

you can't make demi glace in less than a day but the flavor is worth it!60-70 day turn around time isn't amazing on a printer though
