Well, no point in arguing with someone like you. Regardless, as a practicing immunologist I don't feel the least bit diminished by having the social utility of my work compared to other people; ESPECIALLY if it's on the arbitrary basis of the amount of time, money, or education it took someone to become "valuable to society." As for any of my colleagues who do feel that way: grow up; healthcare is a service, and we are service workers.
