I wonder if "Dcotor" ought not be a short career—one where you transition out after, say, two decades. Perhaps they establish a role of mentor within hospitals where "aged-out" doctors can be a part of new surgeons surgeries.
I know, never gonna happen.

In the US if a doctor is remotely competent with money then this is very achievable.
Same with politicians.
