Doubtful. As one who lives "the life' of a physician, I can tell you that whether or not the end result is suicide, the many reasons that lead some to choose this option is universal among physicians. The stress (responsibility for the life and well-being of our patients), money hungry attorney's advertising get rich quick schemes to grieving family members who's loved one's catastrophic injury/illness/acts of God cannot be reversed by the physician (try and pray as he might), huge college/medical school bills, crazy long hours only to get home and have computer work to do, patients/hospital calling, required days taking ER call, continuing education to maintain medical license, required time on hospital committees/boards (mostly unpaid or paid a pittance), insurance reimbursement nosediving while cost of doing business rises, bean counters in the insurance industry dictating how we're allowed to treat our patients (yet again, we're the ones responsible for outcome), being forced to join medical groups and answer to corporate bean counters demanding that we see more and more and more patients because a private practice physician can no longer make a living, corporate heads of hospitals deciding on surgical equipment based on cost rather than quality, doctors' incomes decreasing (a lot) while other professions increase while our personal bills continue to rise along with everyone's else with the cost of living. The time demands on the physician cause friction in marriage and family, the decreasing income cause money stresses. Important events missed entirely or shortened due to work obligations. When we do have some free time at home, we're falling asleep as soon as we sit down from sheer exhaustion. In my case, I invested 14 years in my education. Premed 5 years; medical school 4 years, and 5 years specialty training. Do I wish everyday I'd had a chosen a different direction for my life. Yep. Do I feel trapped? Yep. Is suicide on the agenda. Not today.

I'm a patriot. My wife is a full time research anon and I join in when I can. My heart is your heart. I'm not in a field of medicine that prescribes long lists of medications of which I'm not intimately familiar. I'm a surgeon. My prescriptions are mostly limited to short term (closely monitored) pain control medication and antibiotics. Speaking for most other physicians and from my own experience, if indeed, many medications are known poisons and intended to keep people ill, I can say for a fact that we weren't taught that in medical school and would have no way of knowing such. Most physicians don't have the luxury of time availability to dig these things out. I am blessed with a spouse who loves to dig and redpill me. The vast majority of doctors went into medicine for the right reasons - to add to the quality of life for our patients and will be as blown away when redpilled as the majority of the normie population. Please understand, a physician's life is, in large part,sacrificial.

There are bad eggs in every profession. There are bad eggs in medicine - mostly at the top. I could not be more in agreement that the bad eggs need to be identified and prosecuted. But please don't make the mistake of painting all doctors with a broad cabal-bristled brush. The vast majority of us absolutely have our patient's best interests at heart.
