Hehehe. When I left Germany more than 8 years ago, we had allegedly an 
"oversupply" of doctors. Despite "oversupply", I was forced to work 
ridiculous hours (often 16 hours and more without a break, multiple repeated 
24 hours shifts without sleep etc.), the hierarchy tended to treat junior 
doctors like shit (fortunately not the case in the hospital where I worked), 
and the pay was ridiculous as well before you became a specialist. Doctor 
shortage now? They got what they deserved.
