Doctors
While French doctors only earn about 60% of what American doctors make, their expenses are reduced because they pay no tuition for medical school and malpractice insurance is less costly compared with the United States. The French National Insurance system also pays for a part of social security taxes owed by doctors that agree to charge the government-approved fees.

“Instead of wishing to see more doctors made by women joining what there are, I wish to see as few doctors, either male or female, as possible. For, mark you, the women have made no improvement—they have only tried to be “men” and they have only succeeded in being third-rate men.”

“The best doctors in the world are Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet, and Doctor Merryman.”
