And don't feel too bad for the doctors, they are all making 6 figures if they work full time.
That's true. In addition to their high salary, they also attended 4 years of med school (when they didn't get paid but all of their college graduate friends with jobs did) then a period of residency when they barely made minimum wage based on an hourly basis (sometimes 72 hour shifts straight through so they can observe the progression of a disease, or it's treatment).
After that, they get to pay off those medical school bills (I don't know what it runs now, but a friend of mine in the '80s owed $300,000) and about 25% of their salary for malpractice insurance.
