[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course they're not altruistic. The hardest to get specialities are ROAD 2 riches, as they're high paying and easy hours. If they were altruistic, family practice and internal medicine wouldn't be struggling to find providers. [/quote] But, most doctors are family practice, and pediatrics, and internal medicine.[/quote] I have a pediatrician in my family and most of our friends are doctors. Of those, a vast majority are family medicine or some sort of pediatrics. They are all good people who work long hours and are not paid very much compared to their surgeon peers. The surgeons we know also work long hours but are paid very well and are generally pricks. The shortage of people willing to go into family medicine is driving some of the salaries higher where I live, but still doesn't compare to an adult specialist salary. [/quote]
