it's a warped perspective. I have no cable TV, a rusted car, no TV, no XBox, and no DVD player, just a computer. i dont go to movies. my kids dont have video games and they go to public school.
I went to school with the foreign residents I spoke of--and i studied overseas as well, so nothing is made up by me. My parents saved and saved just to get me through my bachelor's degree. Bottom line is, a lot easier to save for med school when med school is cheap. In many countries this "entire load" for medical school is around $1000 per year--some more ,some less.
the idea that all Americans are misappropriating their funds to material ends is as incorrect as saying that all the foreign residents have no running water. That villager is not going to medical school-- his wealthy compatriot is.
I guess comments above about "3 cars" is the same sort of thinking that gets us those wonderful animadverts about how doctors are all living the decadent good life at everyone's expense.--end rant (for now)
Yeah, that's it guys. We American docs are saddled with debt because we splurge our money away!--end rant (maybe)
