I was right, it went into the gas tank.


Didn't have to ask her, she told me in the morning.



I work very hard for every penny I make.


 Trust me we are not as well off as you think we are.

our net worth is some were around 700k, in the negative.( most of which is student loans.)

the payment on her student loan is about 8k a month.    14k in change in gross a month and only brings home $31XX.   After you add in all the exps of being a doctor, she only nets like 2k a month.

When I was dating a trauma surgeon, I tried to sell her on dermatology. Low malpractice (no one ever died from a zit), sane hours (the pimple can be dealt with between 10 and 6.), and anyone who can afford to see you has insurance. Somehow, it didn't take. Understood that most docs are stuggling till they're 10-15 years out of school just to repay the loans.

getting your degree at stanford, then going to stanford medical school all on loans is not cheap.    about 600k when she got out.

I've never been a fan of big government, but this is absurd. Telling the best and brightest that they will work insane hours from the age of 18 till 30, and then hit fifty before they can afford to buy a house when they are providing a socially useful service is idiotic. Here, BO, Clinton, National Service etc makes sense. Commit to four years of clinical work in underserviced areas and we'll pay for your schooling. We get good doctors, you don't start out burdened by crippling debt, the poor get healthcare without socialized medicine, and its a win-win for everyone. Note how many H1B visas we are giving out to foriegn docs for the VA, and how hard the AMA tries to restrict new med schools. Established Docs win, and med students and the public lose. Sometimes throwing tax dollars at a problem makes sense. We pay for school, you give us four years of low salaried service. That seems like money well spent.

a big chunk of that did come from the goverment.

medical school was a hair under 100k a year.

what irks me about the deal is her father was the one that pushed her to go to medical school.( he is a pharmacist that deals with raido active stuff)   He could have paid her way as he makes ~ 300k a year, but no he had to be a ass and not pay.

I understand not paying if you can't aford it or if the kid is a slacker etc, but that was not the case here.  he could have, but didn't.  He does not like me very much, but my mother in law loves me.

Probably not an option for you or your wife, but... there is always the NHS or, say the Air Force. Now that you are out of business, if you are willing to travel, well, Uncle Sam will cut a sweet deal for anyone with an MD behind their name to sign on the dotted line and take the King's shilling.

The prob is, she is still in training.  If she had gone to a diffrent line of medince, that would have worked.  She still has 4-5 years of more training before they let her cut on her own.

Now the VA is a option, but I kind of doubt she will get the training like she is now.  The guy she is working under now is one of the best guys at repairing hands in the world.( and has a god complex to match, yeah I'd love to kick his ass and I've only met him a few times.)

Surprise surprise, I have several comments,
First, M'ette, You have it all wrong, He needs to confront her about this, "Where the hell is my other $60".
But do it while wearing a plaid duster and Deer stalker cap, and while peering at her  (one eyed of course ) Through a 14 inch magnifying glass. Maybe phrase it more like,  "I say Watson, where's me bloody cash."
                                                      

Tab,  I realize that slackers don't get accepted to med school, so the Father had no excuse, but good lord, there are some real azzholes coming out of Med schools. My Cardiologist is one for sure, He has made some statements that contradict what Dr's I do trust have said, (Not to mention my personal experience ) and he looks like Woody Allen.

FQ, Will you NEVER "get it". Govt. meddling like you suggest is exactly why health care is so expensive . and the details listed here ain't crap, wait till the Govt "fix" kicks in, The dead will get better treatment than the living, cuz the living will last longer before they start to stink.
NHS ? Those are the folks who allegedly care for Indians on the Res, It's criminal, research it.
No matter how good it sounds govt involvment only makes things worse.

The only effective way to do anything is to get off your azz and do it yourself, if you can't, tough, die.

Even sperm have figured that one out.

its not med school, its after they have been a doctor for awhile they get that "I contorl life and death" mind set.  thats when it gets bad.

Like I said the guy she works under is a real POS, with  god complex.  Let me put it this way, when times were tough last year and I was not turning down work.  He wanted me to repaint one of his rentals, I would not even give him a price, kept saying I could not do it as I had too much work.

For those that don't know, painting rentals are like a cash register for me. Its litterly ring the bell and collect the money.    normally about a ~$500/day net.

Says a lot. sounds like a real piece of work.  I do not envy Mrs. Tab one bit dealing with one of those.
