RE: [ENG][ESP] An orthopedic surgeon in Steemit? My Megapost - ¿Un cirujano ortopedista en Steemit? Mi Megapost.

You are lucky to be in a system where money is not so big. Surgeons in the US make much more than 300k a year & lose all of their humanity. They complain about money, no matter how much they make & most will do unnecessary surgeries for money. I became a surgical tech to learn & help people, but quickly learned I was only helping surgeons get rich. I’d bet the great majority of surgeries I worked on had a negative overall effect on the patients health, when you account for all of the effects of antibiotics & anesthesia, & post op drugs that are killing people everyday. Quit that job after two years because it felt extremely dirty. My opinion of surgeons is in the US is they operate like lawyers. It’s more about what treatments make them money they know they can defend in court. You’re not missing anything by not making big money for your work, you are gaining much more important things if you are doing your work for the right reasons. You should feel good about yourself, something many many hi paid surgeons don’t

I totally agree with you on many things, in fact it does not escape reality even in some underdeveloped countries where they abuse the humblest people. The problem with this country is that it is so miserable and little that I find it unjustified to go through hunger and other people's bad times. I think the best thing to do is to use middle terms, and to move away from extremes. Thanks for commenting @ceattlestrech, friend.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience. I have seen first hand, You are doing an incredibly difficult job. Gotta take care of your own body to help other people. Eat food, drink water & get your sleep. I hope the economic policy improves & you can find a good balance to do your best work & help people. Hopefully crypto will help 👍

Thank you for your sincere words, friend. Hope to read you again soon :)
