How Being a Doctor Became the Most Miserable Profession

How Being a Doctor Became the Most Miserable Profession - The Daily Beast:
Nine of 10 doctors discourage others from joining the profession, and 300 physicians commit suicide every year. 
When did it get this bad?
By the end of this year, it’s estimated that 300 physicians will commit suicide
While depression amongst physicians is not new—a few years back, it was named the second most suicidal occupation—the level of sheer unhappiness amongst physicians is on the rise
Simply put, being a doctor has become amiserable and humiliating undertaking. Indeed, many doctors feel that America has declared war on physicians—and both physicians and patients are the losers.
