Also, the line about med school baffles me, because they cap the number of doctors trained every year. People get rejected from med school every year. So "oh, are YOU going to go to med school?" is just a boggling response, like...no? that would not change the number of doctors trained per year? The core problem here is not the same as staffing a Panera Bread, "insufficient applicants" sure is not it.

I would have thought that med school was the quintessential example of why "if you think something is important, YOU have to do it," because a great many people don't have the memory to pass anatomy classes, the steady hands to become a surgeon, etc. etc. etc.
