Inherited Degree

You would guess it's the entrance exam that leads you to medical school. Or rather - you know it is that way. But a short sum up among med students and a questionnaire concerning their parents or grandparents professions and you'll soon notice medical profession could be stronly inherited, too. And I guess the gene is rather dominant than recessive. Any thoughts?
Well, you could think of this two - and certainly more - ways. So I won't go to that endless philosophic discussion.

However,

I muss confess med school has changed my view dramatically what comes to desired nature and character of a doctor.

Before I used to think this way:

Doctors are there to help people. Generally, they are the last hope for many and they save lives. Too often people do not take care of themselves, don't go for sports and finally end up lying on the operation table ready for coronary artery fix. Doctors help them, too.
They feel obligated but also delighted to help different kinds of people.
But it is more than that, the nature of doctors.
They do not gossip.
They do not swear.
They do not get angry - at least they do not want to hit, hurt, embarrase, envy, put down or ignore anyone.
They see health everywhere and they want to promote it. They also take these healthy steps personally. They life in dignity, with a good, pure conscience and descent manner. They never hurt anyone with words since they know that might lead to depression, stroke and even choma.

But this seems more realistic:

Doctors seem to gossip, envy, swear and fight. Their motives to help and save people seem to have two sides of a coin. They want fame and personal satisfaction to reach their goals as helpers, and they are ready to put people down to get the cardiology position in the uni clinic. They don't take into account that their actions 'outside hospital' might as well cause mental and physical unstability in people around them. It wouldn' t be bad at all if their intentions were good, always for everyone and for understanding. But their intentions are not necessarily good, either.

I really don't know why I thought doctors do not, say, tease people or ironically laught at some desperate cases. Even though this image has changed now, I still refuse to watch any American hospital soap or drama. The 'doctors' might save people suffering from serious cancer, but they do not promote health in 10 other aspects of their daily life.
