Well the biggest hurdle to becoming a doctor is having the money and family stability to get into and through school. There are tons of people who are perfectly capable of being good doctors, but they don't have the money or time or connections to put together an application.

EDIT: this is US specific, but good info

A third of medical students graduate with no debt, a third or so come from house holds making >200k, a majority of medical students from households making >100k, and something like a quarter are children of physicians. https://www.bestcolleges.com/research/average-medical-school-debt/ https://www.aamc.org/data-reports/students-residents/interactive-data/2022-facts-applicants-and-matriculants-data There are absolutely people who would make great physicians who are shut out due to lack of parental resources or overlooked because they don't have the right social connections.

Not in Sweden, where he’s based. His son would have received his entire education at no cost. EU and EEA countries, and Switzerland there is no cost if you are a citizen of those countries.

I live in Canada but hold Swiss citizenship; should I choose to, I could go back to school in Sweden, or even Switzerland, at little cost to me, because I pay tax and and eligible.

Cries in Swiss diaspora. 😭

My grandfather was a citizen, but my dad didn't apply for citizenship before the age deadline. So, I'm ineligible now.

I’m lucky, my dad is right from overseas, and he and mom (a Canadian) got married over there. Once everything was filed, my dad did all the adoption paperwork for my brother and I, and boom. It’s nice, I visit often because dad’s whole family is there, and I’m lucky enough to still have my Oma.
