The most difficult profession?
I was thinking about this, this morning when my friend informed me that her mother had brain cancer and she is basically poor. So she wasn't being treated at a great facility. I also lost my mother to ovarian cancer which later spread to the brain, which then became brain cancer four years later.Then I thought about possible jobs where you would have to bear the burden of a death. Many thoughts came up, military applications were kinda moot as you're killing for something you believe in, I keep coming back to oncology doctors as they basically know over 80% of their patents are going to die eventually in less than 5 years. The only treatments available for cancer are painful and well "not fun" so you're basically extending this persons suffering. Yet it's a needed evil because hopefully one day we will understand cancer and be able to treat it.Can others think of other difficult professions?

I'm going to disagree with your post in regards to oncologists. I would guess they get a great deal of satisfaction from the lives they save and that probably outweighs the loss of patients.
