There is an extremely wide variation in salaries for physicians and related activities, just like in any other profession. I do believe the highest salaries are ridiculous - for anesthesiologists and cosmetic surgery, it can reach more than half a million. Pediatricians, on the other hand, earn on average 150K.

So generalizations like yours merely serve to stir the pot, as you intended.

Average $150k for pediatricians? Not around here for any pediatrician who takes insurance.  I've been in practice for 10 years and I'm only at $125 and I work my tail off (nights, weekends).  My friends in government jobs make a lot more and are always shocked when they learn my salary. [/quote]

fam practice also is facing pressure from acute pharmacy clinics - a la cvs minute clinic/walgreens - and these pharma clnics are adding capability as time goes on.

Fam practice loses billings/easy revenue to these clinics for 'easy' work like yearly check up/health screening/etc. [/quote]
