Why the craze?

I don't understand the craze for MD medicine. I've most Medicine graduates ik earn about 80k to 1.2 lakhs per month. And After DM most earn below 2 lakh . I have also seen seniors whose earning and patient count actually decreased after doing DM . But most surgical seniors ik are earning handsomely, ik the stereotype about long incubation ,but that's true for every branch. Branches Like ortho , Ent and ObGy are gold when it comes to earnings. You can chose your own mix of OPD and OT. So why the craze for medicine? Radio i understand considering the huge pay.
