She's under a daunting and incredible workload with tremendous stress thrown in.
Put into that the fact that she has to research and publish on top of her normal work and its not much of a life.

The doctor my wife works for billed close to a million dollars last year.
What with the 4-5 weeks he takes off every summer, the two week vacations every christmas, the big house, fancy boat...must be hell.
Oh, and he works monday to friday.
And yes I do know it's 12 years of schooling before someone brings it up.
Not saying doctors have it easy or that it's a cake walk, but it's apples and oranges comparing doctors to mail carriers as one poster did, which is how this all got brought up.
