Oct 2020

My kids are both doctors in residency and only make 50-60K/year and have close to half a million in med school loans each.

They're both working 16+ hour days dealing with Covid patients with very limited PPE. Neither has a life and won't for the unforeseeable future. I can't even hug my kids.

We calculated their hours worked and they're both making less than minimum wage.

What the asshole says is absolute BS. They do NOT make more money for Covid patients that die.

He's FOS.
