[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of you are completely missing the opportunity cost to go into these different specialties. My wife is a liver/kidney/pancreas transplant surgeon and did 4 years of med school, 7 years of general surgery residency (5 years + 2 research years), and a 2 year transplant specific fellowship. 13 years after graduation with 9 of those years being paid very little. Trust me, she would have made far more in other fields with how intelligent/driven she is, but she actually values helping her patients over $$$. This is just one example, but how is this worse than some random overworked investment banker or lawyer?[/quote] If we all agree our healthcare costs are too high nationally, it makes sense we are more critical of provider salaries than IB salaries. Of course, maybe our costs aren’t too high, and this is just what it costs to have the kind of healthcare we want. [/quote]
