To achieve a doctorate in my country you have to be extremely privileged. Family to support you, free time to devote to studies, not be a minority, come from wealth, not be disabled, the list goes on and on. Most doctors tout their achievements as personal merit and fail to credit the systems that allowed them to get there, a place of extreme luxury that many of their countrymen deserve but will never get to enjoy. They delude themselves into thinking that their work ethic is the only thing that enabled them. If it were work ethic alone, every factory worker would be a doctor.
This headline validates my belief. Doctors who actually care about other people are so rare that they make headlines. What a sad state of affairs. I'm dismayed that it's come to this. I'm so tired.
