Doctor

One of the things that annoys me is how some people are so in awe of 'doctors'. What is it with such people? I like to think that medicine is a profession like any other. Sure it's well paid and prestigious but sometimes too much importance is attached to it. There are people who think they are failures if they don't become a doctor and they carry this regret for the rest of their lives. I have seen this kind of obsession where those who have been unsuccessful in becoming a doctor have to push their child to become one. If both are unsuccessful at least find in laws who are doctors. Surely this 'doctor' obsession is not only in India but also in U.S. as I noticed in the 'Friends' sitcom.
