It's not a little theory but more of a known fact that older people tend not to be as technologically intuitive as younger generations. As to why the doctors you work for can't navigate a computer is beyond me and I have not found this to be true with the physicians I know. Even the doctor I know that chose dermatology as his specialty out of self-professed laziness is quite adept at computers. My ENT friend is my go-to person for all my technology related questions. He helped me set up my home computer network and my satellite system with multi-room dvr's.

That's easier said than done. Do you know how much it costs to become a doctor? Do you know how much additional schooling is required to become a doctor. Do you know how much we worked during residency? I spent 7 years after medical school doing residency and making peanuts as I worked 100 hours per week. When you incur that much debt, sacrafice that much of your time, family and personal life, at the very least we should be compensated for our time. Why is it that people like yourself are okay with a lawyer making millions but heaven forbid if a doctor makes 200K.

Because many don't know the path it takes to end up earning that much.
They just see the end result and determine "it's too much".

Well if you say so...40%? Yea sure.

Lets wait for our resident "doctors" here to chime in, that should be good for a laugh too.

I still think it's cute that the doctor haters believe MDs are technology morons or are incapable of pursuing any other meaningful career. I'm sure some of these people are code monkeys, bean counters, or HR reps who like to believe their role in life is more important than it really is.

I'm not a doctor but I play one on the internet.

I don't even understand what this person is trying to say, and I doubt they do either.
