Doctors take advantage of us because we do not have the knowledge of what medicine is make for what, people in china, Shri lanka, Vietnam , and south American are using us because they know we will pay them a higher price than it cost them to make clothes etc, etc.

Those are the exception (science, medicine, law, etc).

If you want to set yourself apart, be courteous and professional and respect their time.Their main concern would be people looking in medicine cabinets for drugs and in dressers for jewelry.

It might not be worth becoming a doctor if you now have $200k debt form med school and only plan to practice medicine for ~10 years before you want to transition to REI full time.

Me: I am a traditional Chinese Medicine doctor + clinic owner, surfer, world traveler, and mama (/servant) to an especially lovely Kelpie pup.

However, medicine was a big draw to my humanitarian side and would provide me with some job security. 

I am working at the moment but I am planning to be in school for a long time (medicine).

The vanity, which i picked up from home depot, was the option i went with only because I had "tried to put myself in my potential tentant's shoes" and thought that with the small size of the bathroom and no medicine cabinet where would my tenants put their bath things and would the rental be less appealing without any real bath storage.

Pulled out an old medicine cabinet that had a slot for used razor blades in the back wall and found something like five pounds of razor blades in the wall.
