[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For general services. I am a physician and make $124/hour. After 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, $250K post-graduate educational debt, 5 years of post medical school training working 90 hours a week for $50-$70k/year (latter only at the end), and 10 years of additional clinical experience. I am a W2 employee and cannot deduct expenses.

How on earth did you get “being a carpenter means you’re anti-science” out of what I wrote?

This country is headed for a very very serious physician shortage.[/quote]

You need to lobby more so that when people see Nurse Practitioners or Physician Assistants they aren’t billed the same exact rate for an office as seeing a physician!

You need to start blaming private equity companies from buying up medical practices. They are big on hiring fewer doctors and more NPs and PAs[/quote]

Yes, I am painfully aware of this. Unfortunately it is part of the problem. Also unfortunately, the perfect storm of anti-science, anti-medicine and anti-expertise sentiment in this country is destroying The profession and the quality of the system.[/quote]

Wow. Being a well-earning carpenter is not anti-science. In fact, they require a good understanding of materials and math.

An advanced degree doesn’t mean you’re smart or worthy of high pay. Tell us how deserving you are because of your vocational degree (which is what an MD is) is superior to a plumber when your pipes backup. Hope he/she charges you triple because you are so deserving. [/quote][/quote]
