There are not too many poor surgeons out there- most maybe are in the top 5% of pay in the U.S. and according to Occupy (name your city), they are evil. Even though they provide jobs and wait for it, free medical care.
From the LVRJ: It is just before 7 o'clock Wednesday morning as Dr. Kevin Petersen scrubs for a hernia operation at Medical District Surgery Center. Just another day for the surgeon who has become best known in Las Vegas for offering low-cost, cash-only surgeries to uninsured patients, most of whom come from out of town.
However, Nov. 15 won't be just another day at Medical District Surgery Center.
That is the day that he and other doctors will do free surgeries on uninsured individuals without the means to pay for medically necessary elective operations -- conditions such as hernias, gallstones, skin cancers, uterine fibroids and cataracts that don't pose an immediate threat to a patient but that can progress to life-threatening.
"What we will essentially be doing is helping the working poor, people who fall through the cracks when it comes to health care," Petersen said. "The impoverished qualify for government programs. But these are people who may be self-employed, who have bad credit and can't get a loan, people without insurance who are living paycheck to paycheck."
Petersen, the driving force behind the formation of Helping Hands Surgical Care, a nonprofit foundation with a mission of funding and facilitating surgery for the uninsured, said the impetus for the organization's inaugural charity surgery day came from the growing numbers of people showing up at his office desiring care, but without the means to pay for it.

Yep, those evil rich doctors, giving free medical surgeries to the poor.
What these fools for hate the rich don't realize is that the rich give to charities, provide jobs, and do other things to help the poor and help the economy. And they pay taxes that help pay for the government services many of those people receive. Like police protection, fire protection, the parks they protest at etc. The rich will contribute more to society than these fools protesting will ever do.

I think this is perfect because there are a lot of people whom can't get a surgery because they don't have the enough money to do it, it's excellent they are offering that service.
