[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I have no complaints about my doctors and that includes their salaries. They work their a$$es off and have provided me and my family with great care.[/quote]

Your cleaning lady works her ass off, too. Are you willing to pay her $600k a year?

It's amazing how generous people are when they're able to get someone else to pay for 80-90% of a service.[/quote]

How many people are capable of performing a life saving surgery versus the number capable of scrubbing a toilet and how willing are you to accept the consequences if you forgo each service or if they screw it up?

Surely that factors into what people are willing to pay, regardless of what insurance is willing to kick in.[/quote]

OK, do you pay for cleaning lady even 1/10th of that for working her "ass off"?[/quote]

NP. Depending on specialty, physicians take call and get woken up regularly at night, miss events with their family, and have to be “on” the whole time they’re working. There are plenty of other jobs where people work really hard and work long hours, but I want my doctor to be fairly compensated for their time and expertise. Most doctors are not making that much for how hard they’re working plus the high level of responsibility they’re taking on for their work. The ones who make a ton tend to be on the business end of medicine, not in daily practice. In the hospital, most administrators and making more than the average physician on staff, and those admins don’t spend their days listening to and caring for patients. [/quote]
