My point is, money is not their first priority. If it was they wouldnt go into medicine. Do doctors make bank? Yes, at least specialists do. But they work very hard, and theres any number of professions where they can make more money, with half the schooling and late nights.

Prestige is a thing too, y'know.

You said they can't be only interested in money or they wouldn't help poor people. But that statement is patently untrue, as has already been explained. There are people in every high-paying profession who are only there because of the fact that it's high-paying. And I frankly think you sound a bit naive with how much faith you give doctors by default. There are countless examples of disgusting human beings taking advantage of their position and status in the medical fields to do some truly despicable things in order to gain wealth, fame, and influence.
