I hesitate to say that doctors are overpaid and over-valued, as they have put in a ton of time and effort to get where they are, but it's hard not to find the whole process of becoming a practicing doctor silly and inefficient.
Your input may be on point, but the culture you describe is part of what has made America's healthcare system so costly and inaccessible. Without even delving into the insurance side of things, our country needs way more nurses and NPs (who do 90+% of the regular work that doctors do) instead of more over-educated doctors who revel in the prestige of their "long white coats."
