Line 169:
** Depends. In the US, family practitioners, internists, and pediatricians may make barely enough money to survive, especially given the debts incurred during medical school. Often these practitioners gave up far more lucrative medical specialties to be "people doctors."
** And in Britain (and Canada and numerous other places) we have the NHS.
* People from fire and other emergency services who behave heroically for strangers no better reason then tradition, discipline, and [[Honor Before Reason| refusal to embarrass their buddies]] and treat it as another career in between disasters.
* The military. Your average soldier knows nothing of the politics surrounding the conflict he/she fights in. All they know is that their CO told them to fight, so they do. Depending on which side of the fence you're on, they might also be considered a [[Punch Clock Villain]].
** This is especially true for people who join the military as a means to an end, such as [[Signed Up for the Dental|paying for college.]]
***When the military is doing disaster relief at least they can be accounted as punch clock heroes like any other EMS.
