Doctors have quite a special position in our communities since they have a daily power of life and death over those in need of medical attention and it weighs on them as from what I recall, doctors as a groups generally have some of the highest rates of marriage breakups, drug/alcohol dependency issues, suicide, and a mass of other problems related to high stress, long hours and in many cases being blamed if/when someone dies...

Rubbish Ben, doctors are already too busy with other cases, or on holiday, or playing golf etc because they can earn enough in a day or two which enables them to take the rest of the week off. Same with dentists, many only work part-time because two days income is enough.
