    I don’t think that it’s rare, I think the majority that survive in that environment are rare and most quit because of the stress. Go over to the /medical subs and you will see the level of frustration these guys who spent their lives becoming drs/surgeons deal with because of insurance companies.

      In my area radiologists make $460k per year, or about $38,000 per month. Complaining about the stress of that job is bullshit.

        Financial stress, no, but there can absolutely be other stressors that come with such a job or make it otherwise difficult, especially if one cares about the quality of their work and the lives of their patients. Doubly-so if insurance companies seem to be actively hampering those efforts and make one feel more like a cog in a profit machine than an expert in one’s field.
