It is difficult to speak to how much this dynamic sets us apart from the teachers, the lawyers, the scientists, the politicians. However, this dynamic does set us apart to some degree. Regardless of how much more “exceptional” doctors may be - indeed, Sibert’s original argument was that doctors not only play a special role in society, but also that there are necessarily too few of them to justify any of us choosing to be a part-time doctor - our student moderator, Gina Siddiqui, concluded that forcing physicians to work longer isn’t necessarily the right answer. “For the record, I think everyone should think his or her job is special, just like every mom should think her kid is special.” “I don’t know if it’s feeling special or a strong sense of duty or what, but on balance, I think most doctors will choose to work more, and coercing more hours out of those that don’t is unlikely to do much good for patients,” Siddiqui says.
