    I work in hospitals as an IT manager. I have a lot of respect for most of the doctors. Some can be a real pain to de with, the ones that have a god complex (mostly the older ones), yet most are pretty understanding. I recently had elective surgery and it takes a lot to trust someone to cut you open . Looks like now I got someone to PM for sick notes lol (kidding).

    I admire the dedication it takes to become a medical professional. Will you be specialising in a certain field later on in life? The medical professional who operated on me was a professor and boy was he knowledge.

    (offtopic: my fields of interest are cardiology, radiology and transplantation medicine. I explored internal and emergency medicine first hand and loved it. Also flew with the german medevac last summer, which was an amazing experience.

    The cockiness and god complex is a retarded thing in medicine and is present like in any other field. honestly i wouldn't mind if the doc can help, no matter how arrogant and cocky he is. Its part of the job. medicine is extremely competitive. It's a profession like an other. If you want to be the best you are tough and persistent. To get where we are we sacrifice so much and it costs us a fortune. Only that alone deserves respect I think. So many people throw away their life and potential, why shouldn't medical professionals be proud? Marines are proud to kill people! We are proud to save people.

    Nonetheless life shapes you to what you are and that is not always a pleasant person, but as long as it gets the job done it's fine with me. Still I am a different person and my god complex is long gone. I just want to help people and make them smile again. Make this a little better place. That's all. In the end we are all human and death is only another step.)

    How do you like the current model C class? I like MB but currently see Audi as more value for money. You can get an 06 Audi A6 quottro 6 cylinder for the same price as and 07/08 MB C200k.

    Prices here in The Netherlands are also crazy... a new RS4 here is EUR 107.440,-, that is $146.000,-. It is cheaper to import the RS4 from the US, than to buy one here, while the factory is only a few hundred km's away....

    At least you have the option to import! Our import laws prevent importing cars already sold here unless you meet very stringent criteria. You still have to pay significant duties and taxes though.

    My brother just bought a Used rs6. Brand new it was 250k here!

    To put it in perspective, The median wage in Australia is about 60k pa.

    I'm currently looking for a new car and am considering a Lexus rx350 or 2nd hand ml500l

    That really sucks.. The last few years more and more cars are imported here. Four years ago a Nissan Skyline was very rare, now you see them everywhere! When I'm going to a car event or meeting there are just as many Nissan Skylines as Subaru Impreza's (which are very common here). Some as the Integra Type-R, I think there are more imported ITR's here than original EUDM ones. A lot of cars are also imported from Germany. The 2nd hand prices there are very good and since it is also a EU country we are free of car tax.
