A quote from a medical student

I came across with an article written by an american medical student who reflected on his decision to study medicine and whether it was a right choice for him. It was a good article and i would like to quote a small yet meaningful part from it:

"... I think I have found a source of inspiration and motivation. It's not about the prestige; I don't think all the training is worth what prestige is left in the profession. It's not about the money; there are easier and shorter paths to earning a decent living. It’s not about being your own boss; the current medical system has made that terribly difficult. It's all about the patients."
