Do any of you remember the Dr.Kildare, Ben Casey era?

Much ado about romanticizing the medical profession. I was a total sucker about them.

There was a TV show called “Trapper John MD” that I used to watch and it completely romantised the medical profession. I wanted to be a surgeon after watching it. I was only about 10. I bet my brother 10 bucks that I was going to be a surgeon.

Today doctors don’t make as much money as they used to unless you are a brain or heart surgeon or specialist.

General Practitioners are hard to find right now because a lot of them have abandoned their businesses

Ben Casey was from a more blue collar/working class background?
