Which is more stressful? Being a doctor or being a Forex Trader

The obvious answer to some will probably be that a doctor is more stressful as you're dealing with people's lives...and it depends on what type of doctor, imaginably, being a surgeon is probably more stressful.....would like to hear your opinions on this..

cheers

FX; it's your own stake at risk, not somebody else's.

At some point, most surgeries and other medical procedures become like clockwork to doctors, especially for a specialist doing similar surgeries day in and day out. Doctors that are stressed by anything except extreme cases or using experimental/new techniques should not become doctors. Plus there is job security.
