It's terrible, walk through the doctor reserved parking lots at Straub & Queens, and count the Mercedes, Porsches,Jags & Audi's, and if not take note the Toyotas are 2008 and up.
Then get a real estate agent to show you who owns the majority of homes in Kahala & Waialae Iki.
Yeh, it's really tough for them to make ends meet!

The majority of homes in Kahala & Wailae Iki are lawyers, CEO's, big-business owners, successful realtors, retired politicians, and more lawyers. Not people you'd trust you're life to. I've seen lots of low-income people driving flashy, bank-owned Cadillacs, Continentals, Porsches and Mercedes. My own doctor drives a Toyota Camry, and I put my life in her hands.

Don't get jealous now. Most doctors are great doctors and they should make something out of the deal due to all the dedication and study they had to endure. From a scale of one to ten I would rate many at 15.
I guess if you don't like it then go back to school. Also many doctors donate their time and own money in extreme cases. Last night on TV, I was watching a little girl from the Philippines that had a head that weighted about 300 pounds and looked like a monster. One doctor flew her to Miami and spent months with his team working on her. They did this all free so my friend you are barking up the wrong tree.

Hey, Von. Half of my classmates ARE doctors. So I know what I am talking about. If doctors are so great, why do fertility doctors charge over $10,000, hmmm? Answer me that. Show me a doctor who donates his time to lost causes and I can show you two who milk the medicare system. Not all doctors are pure as the driven snow and until they impose real controls on their profession, the rotten eggs will take advantage of the system, hiding behind the false front of respectability you are so eager to erect for them. Aloha.
