Michael Kitces has a fantastic series of podcasts interviews of various financial planners and planning consultants who have made a difference in the profession for one reason or another. While I don't think many of the topics would be of interest to the participants here, his recent interview with Carl Richards was fascinating. The topic is the Imposter Syndrome which is quite prevalent in the community of "real" financial planners (guilty as charged). Is the same true of physicians?
iow, is it common for physicians to think that you really don't deserve the recognition you get for being intelligent and really good at what you do - that if people only knew what you were really like, they wouldn't think you as highly of you? As you are surely aware, laymen tend to label doctors as having a "god" syndrome. Deserved or not? Or do you find this hugely insulting.
And the really important question: is it "Imposter" or "Impostor"?
