Are doctors arrogant and self-righteous by choice?

LMAO! Pouring out the door? Damn invalids have no clue how to be more solid these days.

Well, to qualify it... he is an orthopedic surgeon and does a great practice with athletes in Dallas. I never make appointments with him on a Monday. Filled with weekend warriors those days!

At ~40 what kind of doctors are they? That is actually pretty impressive for ANY doctor. I saw your previous remarks about them earning more money on investments, I believe that...

When they buy something with that $100 and get change back do they throw it out the window like I do pennies, or do they then have a smaller bill then a $100 in their wallet?

But to answer the OP's question yes. The ones that don't are greatly out weighed by those that do. So buy default, YES!

One of them is an orthopedic surgeon and the other is an anesthesiologist.

I have a cousin who is an orthopedic with a D.O. He seems to have a much more "middle class" life than these two. But like I said these two are pretty smart business people as well. Both are sizeable investments in private companies outside of medicine.

Nah...I wouldnt mind having a really nice car but each time I think about buying one, I change my mind and cant bring myself to spend that much money on a car. When I get finished paying for my mom and step dad's stupid IRS debt, I will be in a better position to get a nice car...but it wont be a Porsche.

Once I felt comfortable enough to buy nice cars I did. After two years I realize, meh, drives just like my truck and sold them. Wife still pimps her Mercedes.

I also don't get pissed when someone door dings me or the kids slam the door into the side of the garage.

Maybe one day I'll get 911 Turbo but for now I'm fine drive the piece of shit truck.

Arrogant: exaggerating one's own worth or importance in an overbearing manner.

I dont see myself as that. I am just confident because everything that I put forth an effort to do I do well...and I have the necessary drive to be successful.

Self-righteous: convinced of one's own righteousness especially in contrast with the actions and beliefs of others : narrow-mindedly moralistic.

I can see where some may think this about me but if that's the case, then everyone is self-righteous about their beliefs and opinions. I feel strongly about what I believe in and will defend them if needed. However, I dont feel that I put others down in order to make myself feel better. That's just not me.

Arrogant - I hope you are arrogant. I want my doctors to be arrogant. I trust their arrogance.

Self-righteous - Sure you put down others to make yourself feel better. If you didn't we wouldn't have threads about gays and fat people. It's ok.

American Express Black mostly.

I have seen one leave $50 tips on a $50 bar bill before though.

IMO, Dave just likes to stir the pot. Which isn't a condemnation, it's what the internet was built upon.

Yup...I try not to get too caught up in what others think about me on here. I dish it out and fully expect to get some shit in return.

For some reason I can count on two things with these two (both are divorced for some reason, lol!):

1. Female Bartenders
2. A bunch of 20-something blondes hanging around

Not necessarily because we're in strip clubs (which I don't do since having my first daughter.)

I hope so.

I hear ya on the expensive car thing...I will continue to drive my cobra and my truck for now.

You guys forgot lawyers. Oh God. They are some arrogant bastards but can easily be stupid as fuck and get by thanks to fooling everyone.

I love expensive lawyers... when I'm paying them. They save me money.

Ortho Surgeon yes, I can see that. I have known quite a few that do very well for themselves. I have also know one that was a complete fucking psycho and would do surgeries coked out of his mind essentially shutting down a hospital to law suits.

Anesthesiologists are near the top of the list of prick doctors, so that surprises me. Most do nothing more then sit and read a fucking book while the CRNA does all the work....
