I can definitely say that doctors are not angels. Not just that they cannot save you all the time, but also that even at a top medical school, a significant number of the students do not have the dedication and ethos that this profession requires. I know it's hard to give your 100% all the time, but I think when it comes to people's lives, that's what is required. In medicine, your 'bad day' could ruin someone's life.
I entered medical school by trying to emulate my grandpa who decided to leave his top hospital position and work in a rural area for 40 years and treat patients regardless of whether they had money to pay him or not (apparently he accepted live chicken as the visit fee on a few occasions). Not to say he was an angel, no, but certainly he was not the norm at my medical school.
