I've heard that doctors are notorious for getting scammed/hosed by shady investment advisors more than one would would expect given their much higher intelligence. Usually just don't have the time to check stuff out. Not sure if that is horsecrap though.
Mind you, a guy I graduated engineering with went back to school to become a Doc/Radiologist in Edmonton, last I talked to him he had like seven houses and was doing really well, I imagine he's added a few more on the list (not that owning houses is 100% successful). Smart as fata fellow.

It's possibly that, but some doctors have told me that they're just plain busy and terrible with money. I don't think that's peculiar to their profession though because a lot of professionals would fall into that category.

In my experience, doctors and dentists are some of the worst "businesspeople" out there. They love the fancy stuff, bougie clinics, etc. Though their earning potential is high, they tend to take on alot of liability with very little upside attached to it.
