Calley Means: "The highest suicide rate of any profession, any profession in America is doctors. And the highest burnout rate. So what I see with that is that you don't, working hard doesn't make you super depressed and suicidal. No, I enjoy it. Like missionaries aren't committing suicide. Yeah, yeah. Working hard is good. I'm working hard on this mission, I feel really good about it. Me too. They actually had a New York Times article recently that identified what doctors are feeling towards soldiers. It's the same psychological dynamic that soldiers who get in the fight for the right reasons, but then are forced by their superiors to commit war crimes. It's actually a similar, they actually, New York Times compared doctors to like Abu Ghraib, like soldiers who are forced to do horrible things or felt like they were forced. That's, I think what's happening to the medical profession is these are all good people. There's much easier ways to make money. They, we actually are this magnet that tracks the best and the brightest from all of the world. We saddled them with debt.
They have no other skills, and then they have societal expectations and their parents and all these credentials, but they do feel trapped."
