S/O Doctors: post your salary and practice area

[Anonymous]

To the OP: Maybe your boyfriend should run for the hills.seems like you're out for the money. Don't worry..there's none and tons of student loan debt. (married to a doctor). Been married for 4 years and still rent in a tiny little one bedroom apartment to pay off the debt. Love him anyway.

Doctors don't tell you what they used to tell years ago. You go to an appointment and they just repeat what you tell them. Is this new era of medicine practice???

The vast majority of people are going to think, oh, they make so much. But they will have NO idea of the daily stress and long hours (on our feet) with no food. Hours in the OR with one case 6, 7 hours standing, not able to see our kids.
Dam it stop this thread.

Whatever. Most doctors and other professionals I know make more than this. Just not a big deal.

They don't make as much as you think. The model is changing. Doctor use to set up shop, as in a small business and make a nice living. Now days more and more are working for a corporation. Also, the insurance companies really like money and they have MBAs working for them....that mean the insurance companies get the money.

1) no idea why this thread is up; it is so old
2) good for your 22:21. but for the rest of the world, this is highly unusual. My spouse is an anesthesiologist too, and he is well-compensated for this area. his earnings and vacation are no where near what you wrote. you are either in a different locality, a senior partner at a group (in which case you are probably much older than most others on this board, as I've heard most of the local groups stopped bringing on senior partners a long time ago), or an unusual outlier.

From my neighborhood alone, I can give you sample data that could be indicative of why the PPs might be so defensive. Their close in NVA houses are worth, in today's dollars, as follows:

a.) Endodontist $3m
b.) Cardiolologist (pediatric) $3m
c.) Dermatologist $2.5m (plus $500k beach house)
d.) Orthopedic Surgeon $3m (plus several rental properties in the $1m-$2m range)
e.) Orthopedic Surgeon $2m

2/5 of the families attend private school.

Different poster here. I know tons of doctors, and anesthesiologists are known for making bank.

If OP is hoping to marry rich by being with a doctor. Don't bother.

Was a fool to marry my doctor without checking out his finances. After marriage found out he had six figure debt. Wiped out my savings paying it down. His friend was asked by his accountant friend how he slept at night with all that debt. We squeaked by for many years living in an tiny apartment and I put him on a strict budget.

While my friend who married the hedge fund partner has two houses a 24/7 nanny and goes to galas.

anesthesiologists have it good bc they are always skirting patients past the edge of death. One wrong move and their career is over.

Also Canada has a machine which is going to do their job, which is a risk.

Doctors in general are very rote based; there is not much chance for innovation or creation, so they are at risk of knowledge work automation (like IBM medical Watson) replacing them.

Anyone can look up average physicians' salaries online. It is highly variable depending on specialty and location. A neurosurgeon living in Bumfuck will be rich. A family medicine doc in DC, not so much. Doctors in the DC area are not as well compensated since the job market is saturated here. I know some doctors who are in it for the $, but most just want a personally and intellectually fulfilling career.

What is your husbands comp?

So you know I'm in the biz, I'll tell you - we have a combo of great payor mix and run 1:3-4 ratios. We don't have "senior partners" - just associates and partners.
