A common, but not necessarily valid assumption. My son works for a flat monthly rate with no benefits included. The cost of that book along with many others purchased every year comes directly out of his pocket as does the $5,000 to $10,000+ he spends each year in mandatory continuing education, add to that additional thousands of dollars in annual state medical license fees. All of that comes out of that same flat monthly paycheck.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
