[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1754676, member: 50088"] Of course most doctors make well over $100K. If they didn't, 99% of them wouldn't have suffered through 8 years of college and a residency and accumulated 100's of thousands in debt. As I posted early, the median salary for a general practitioner is $137K. The reason it's that "low" is the enormous costs doctors deal with. The facilities, the staff, the crazy insurance, equipment/supplies, and so much more all get taken care of before the Doctor takes their cut. So while the office takes in millions from patients, most of it goes to expenses. Most doctors still make significantly more than the statistical "median". Like all professions, the median takes into account young new doctors starting out. Senior doc's, and specialists make really good money as they should. The median for a general surgeon, for example, is about $350,000. Orthopedic surgeons and cardiologists are over $500,000. These are the doctors you see with the massive homes on the water with the new S-Class in the driveway. [/QUOTE]
