Why is there a lack of doctors in Germany?

This society has changed. Charitable professions (and the medical profession is regarded as such) are no longer very popular. Young people who have graduated from high school are wondering if they should complete the long study and then a further education in order to be available even after 17.00 clock and to have to serve at the weekend. If a doctor, then at least one subject in which you can operate equipment for examination and on time has concluded, a regular income and sufficient vacation time. The rigid hierarchy of hospitals is a torture for many doctors. Fourteen days holiday at a time are granted at most and can be canceled at any time. These conditions can be expected only doctors from Eastern Europe. Therefore, in many departments of hospitals only the chief physician mother tongue German. Nobody is interested in the fact that the health systems in the Eastern European countries are collapsing. And for the time after the establishment as a family doctor, the doctors expect unlimited working hours into the evening and a constant readiness. Since the economic and social crisis, which began about ten years ago, there has been a change in values ​​with a devaluation of the charity. In the elbow society one defends oneself against the professional impositions by an emphasis of the leisure time and by demarcation from the occupation; Material remuneration is more in the center and the career choice should not stand in the way of starting a family. These goals means the high school graduate rather as a tax consultant, judge, engineer or educator to be able to realize. That one could reconcile these goals with a job as a family doctor, this idea is really rather remote. Now, in order not to jeopardize social peace, the political class and the civic officials have taken some measures to facilitate cooperation and part-time work. However, these are only marginal changes, as all young female doctors with small children who aspired to part-time work were already fully absorbed in the outpatient sector, so that unemployment has been zero percent for decades. The material situation has also improved, but it can not yet compete with the development in the other classic middle-class occupations. In the meantime almost a whole generation of German doctors are missing and it may take another ten years until a noticeable number of doctors want to get back into this profession.
