Doctor killer because it was a mass produced high performance airplane the was relative inexpensive. So a lot of professionals (like doctors) bought it with it's 285-300 HP engine right after getting their pilot's license. So it was like getting your 16 year old a ferrari soon as he got his driver's license. Plus the instruments back in the day did no help at all with the weather.
I had one that a hanger door fell on during Hurricane Sally. It was a great flying airplane and I found it very forgiving

My FIL bought one but only after being able to work into it after 1,000+ of hours flying a complex airplane. You take a person with unlimited resources and they can buy themselves into a sexy plane that they get behind really quickly.
