This is so sad,

23. Doctors would probably be much more generous with their time and work

if their education were not so terribly expensive. It takes a long, long, long time to become a qualified doctor. And then you face repaying your student loans and repeated examinations. It is not an easy life. The hours are long as it is.

I would not ask more of doctors than they are now giving us. We expect them to handle the responsibility of making life and death decisions every day without complaint.

Contrast that with the millionaires on Wall Street who think only of themselves. Even their charitable giving is for show and for the return on improving their images.

Should corporations help to pay for the damages to the victims of the Boston bombings. Yes. But we should try to do everything we can to eliminate the feelings of anger, fear, frustration and impatience that lead to things like the Boston bombings. And we should watch out and help our friends to overcome their depression and feelings of anger and desperation. Bombs and guns are not the answer. Never. Never. Never.

Asking doctors to donate their time? Yes. If they feel so moved. But not if they don't. Why not ask Wall Street brokers to donate their time? They could afford it even better than doctors.
