If you are a surgeon or work in the emergency department then, yes, you will be working long hours and probably get sued from time to time because you couldnt fix someone or even made a small mistake which was a known risk to the patient in the first place. But I agree people should become doctors to help people. You can find less stressful and risky medical professions though.
