      Majority of med students are rich sociopaths. To afford medical school, you have to come from a wealthy family. Usually to get into medical school, the kids have been groomed their whole lives for the entrance exam. Expensive prep schools, SAT prep for the undergrad, prep for the MCAT, private tutors, the whole nine.

      Even a kid of remarkable talent that came from hard circumstances and managed to get into school without all that would not be able to afford school and there’s no time to work while you’re in med school, so you have to have a wealthy family support you as you dedicate 100% of your time to studying.

      As a result, the doctors that come out of this are usually heartless and see the poor as a curiosity or as something to look down upon.

      Most people do it for the prestige and money - compassionate doctors are far and few inbetween in the USA. Cue the eugenics. This post does not surprise me in the slightest

        the whole prep stuff is really only true for the top ~5 med schools, if you can get in loans are not a problem to acquire
