[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it amazing how quickly doctor's wives (always a DW) show up on these posts crying about how underpaid they are?

I think this is just emblematic of the greedy attitude around here.[/quote]

I think most people don't have an accurate assumption about how much doctors really make. Sure there are some super successful specialized surgeons, but I think most people grossly overestimate. To make bank, you need to ho to a rural underserved area. DMV in general does not pay well because you have many choices and it drives insurance payouts down. [/quote]

Yeah, give me some numbers.  My family has a lot of doctors, some in urban areas. They're doing outstanding, and that's fine.  But why do they consistently complain about the pay of administrators, pharma representatives, PAs, nurse practitioners, etc?  Physician, heal thyself.[/quote]

Are they living in 10 million dollar homes like OP says?[/quote]

A couple of them have assets in excess of 10 million, yeah.[/quote]

I bet if pressed there is more to it. They are either old, crazy successful or have money from other sources. This is not typical of the DMV area.  Google the average surgeon salary in DC and it simply doesn't support these figures. We are late 30s and know many specialists. They live in 800,000ish homes and drive newer but common cars. OP is being dramatic. [/quote]
