I'm not sure what this has to do with Debian, but this overlaps
with my professional interests.

As far as I can tell, the reason that MDs and dentists are
notable as bad investors is the same reason that they are
notable as bad pilots: in the middle to end of their careers
they have lots of money and no particular life experience other
than their professions. They look for something that is
appealing on the surface, put just enough time into it to
convince themselves that they are going to be quite good at it
because they are already successful, and then crash.

Luckily, programming is a useful alternative hobby for medical
professionals. As long as you stay away from certain obscure
areas -- say, device drivers and financial software -- the
penalties for screwing up are much lower.

If you like your doctor or dentist, encourage them to learn
Debian and get into programming rather than daytrading or
piloting.
