We (MDs) absolutely despise taking care of the grease goblins. Money has absolutely nothing to do with it. Doctors are, by and large,  primarily motivated by succeeding in making another human being healthier. Cutting out a tumor, controlling a chronic life-threatening condition, stabilizing and saving a trauma victim . . . this is what makes us tick. The obeasts are the equivalent of stage IV lung cancer patients smoking cigarettes through their tracheostomies. And now they are so deluded that they don't even want our advice, let alone treatment. They're free to never give me a penny as long as they stay the hell out of my office.
