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
