A YouTube video by Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim highlighting common financial weaknesses among doctors and healthcare professionals. The speaker argues that despite high intelligence, many in the medical field are inexperienced or inattentive with personal finance, investing, and saving—due to long hours, recent transitions from school to work, and disposable income.
So I saw one trend that had always been there was that doctors and healthcare professionals and the rest of the population, particularly doctors and healthcare professionals, don't tend to be super smart when it comes to things like money. I'm not saying doctors are not smart. Doctors are smart. But when it comes to finances, for some reasons, either because we work long hours or we're busy, or we get disposable income, or you just leave medical school and you land a job, sometimes without having to do quite a lot of hustling or trying to put together your cv, you know you're going to get a job most times. So for some reason, and also because being in school all this period, a lot of doctors and healthcare professionals tend to be sort of like, on the back foot when it comes to things like finances, investing, savings, that's one aspect.
