Re: Pre-Meds and the Rishta Game
Oh come on don’t blame or put down doctors–blame our culture for not giving equal status to other noble and honorable careers. Saving a person’s life or taking care of them in their time of need should be celebrated whether it’s a doctor, nurse, physician assitant, EMT, fireman, police officer, social workers, etc. Teachers should also get more recognition, education is empowerment.
Politicians, actors/actresses, singers, sports players are the ones who have out of the world status and it can be argued they are not deserving of such pay and status.
Now yes doctors or anyone else for that matter who are full of themselves or think they are G-ds gift to society and are better than others because of their pay check, I’ll happily join you in putting them down. But this too is a cultural thing–us Pakistanis are notorious for being materialistic, elitist and superficial, especially the doctors that come straight from Pakistan and are taking advantage of the system here. Huge pet peeve of mine. Our culture values a persons house, car their driving, their salary, the connections they have, and other superificial things, etc. People when you have money stay grounded!
