Any human being getting worn out physically and mentally is prone to mental depression. It seems to me that there is great deal of foolish , ritualistic misery involved in the training of physicians.

I wonder to what degree the high cost of medical education and the inhumane atmosphere of for-profit medicine contributes to a depressed " conscience ".

The " cult of the doctor " hurts the doctor as much as it does his patients.

Can mental depression be cured with a pep talk and pill ? What if life itself really becomes depressing ? God help you.
