Well it's tough debating this with you if you can only see it from one angle.
Doctors, based on the time and money they invest in their education, should indeed be well remunerated for their services. But ask any doctor why they became a doctor and none of them will tell you because they wanted to earn a lot of money. I would stay away from any doctor who said otherwise.
I saw this bit on the "Africa Mercy" on 60 Minutes the other night.

Guess how much these doctors earn? Nothing. In fact, they have to raise money in their US-based communities in order to continue serving in this way. It's because their mission in life is to HELP others.
