My theory is every doctor is given more patients than they can possibly care about, so they become as alienated from their work as any factory worker. Healthcare is an assembly line. They care as much about their patients as I care about the car parts I make.









That definitely plays a role, but it really depends on where they work and what they’re specialized in. They can work incredibly long hours because hospitals want to have as few workers on staff as possible in order to minimize costs. Almost no one in medicine is working as little as 40 hours a week, most are working 49-58 hours on average and some are working up to 80 hours a week. In those conditions, where’s the room for care? You’re a car part on an assembly line to them.
