Doctors in America are harboring an embarrassing secret: Many of them are going broke.

24. People really just don't understand. My sister finally paid off her student loans and it

took her about 10 yrs. Now she has twins going to school one wants to be a dentist the other wants to be a teacher in the medical field. I tell you we come from a modest background. My dad was in the military and retired. Sad that he died at 50 and left 2 small children. My sister was lucky and very very smart. She wanted to go to dental school. We all helped her. My mother was a stay at home mom. My brother and sisters made sure she could stay home. We just didn't want mom going to work. Anyone she went through dental school the week she was to walk across the stage with honors our mother died at the beginning of the week and at the end of the week my sister walked across the stage. We were so happy and sad at the same time. She ended up doing a year residency in a hospital. As you well know she put in long, long hours. During that time she found out she was carrying twins. I felt so bad for her. She didn't give up and stuck with it even though she was having serious medical problems throughout. There were times she ended up in the hospital and get out then go right back to work. She was lucky she did have her babies even though one of the had serious problems. They worked with the problems (one of the babies had water on the brain) and today both are in college doing extremely well. But it take hard work. Doctors need to be appreciated more than ever. I know I appreciate my and sometimes I bring them little goodies. I let them all know I appreciate them. I know it is not easy. Good luck to your daughter and son-in-law. I hope for the best for all of us.
