Like sorry dude but unless he was a really bad doctor, he should be forced to go back to his old job. Humanity needs medical professionals more than it needs comic actors. It takes like ten years to train a replacement doctor.
blah blah blah I just don't like his comedy style or acting, that should be reason enough.
Heard joke once: Medical professional goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great comic actor Ken Jeong is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor..."
Thesis: Ken Jeong should go back to practicing medicine
Antithesis: Ken Jeong should continue acting if that's his passion
Synthesis: Ken Jeong should have a daytime show where he diagnosed funny medical conditions called "What's Wrong, Dr. Jeong?"
No thanks I'll pass on having a doctor who doesn't even want to be a doctor. As Hexboare has pointed out, the number of doctors in the US is artificially limited already.
The number of doctors is generally limited by doctors to keep salaries artificially high.
There is also significant opposition to allowing other medical professionals to undertake basic activities that are traditionally the domain of doctors.
FYI it's limited by doctors lobbying. Residency programs are funded by Congress, and the amount of spending was capped in 1997 and only raised once since, in 2021. And even the doctors are saying it's too low now.
Even between doctors different specialities fight each other to maintain a monopoly on certain procedures, like gastroenterologists and general/gastric surgeon with endoscopy, or any time general practitioners take on a more specialised role to meet a community need, the relevant specialists will complain and denigrate them.
Didn't he wear a prosthetic private part in the hangovet to perpetuate a stereotype?
Fucking westerners He addresses this in a standup act. Apparently no, that’s just his dick.
If he can live his life without having to do 18 hour shifts and whatever other absurd conditions USian medical professionals have to work in, good for him.
"I don't understand, I thought I'd be diagnosing all exotic diseases with strange symptoms except lupus after the revolution..."
