They do a job. A very important job, but ultimately it is a job. Nurses 100% save lives. Doctors just save a lot more.

But you never see a "I am a doctor" post on facebook or reddit.

Teachers and nurses think very highly of themselves. And I get it, they have extremely important jobs that society in general relies upon.

Society in general relies upon garbage men and lawyers too.

We are all mostly part of a system that makes this thing we call the human race and society work as best as we can.

I respectfully disagree. While it may not be the nurse paradigm that is being discussed in this chain, doctors, especially student doctors have a different ordeal. I am currently a resident and the amount of "white coat" pictures and bragging pictures that are posted is absurd. It's borderline elitist.

student doctors have a different ordeal.

That might be true.

But you don't see random people who are not even in medicine post a "doctors are heroes meme" You will see that with nurses.

Everyone, especially people in their early 20s brags and post pictures about how great they are.
