Doctors are well respected in the community and are deemed spiritual. They are given a status only next to God. This fact is exemplified by the fact that during the older times, the doctors were privileged to be the only community that was given a burial place next to the King’s, as a mark of respect towards their profession. Doctors are probably the only professionals acknowledged with respect, being a catalyst in the alleviation of physical suffering and in helping to impart a new life to their patients. Being a doctor is a calling and never a means to erect a financial empire. Wealth is a byproduct of selfless service. Most educated families would want their children to pursue medicine not for a financial gain but for its intrinsically noble pursuits.
