[quote=Anonymous]The disparity of pay among physicians is what is criminal. It's all part of a skewed reimbursement system that values procedures more than cognition and actually taking care of patients. And it incentives itself by just ensuring that more procedures are done, some unnecessarily because they pay so much. The technical skills and training to be a critical care doctor and a spine surgeon are not that different. And one doesn't work harder than the other. But one makes 5 times more. Or even 10 times more. It's ridiculous. And some of it is sour grapes, sure. But it's difficult when you see the same guy in the middle of the night and he makes orders of magnitude higher than you because of reimbursement schemes set up decades ago. When he's not working harder than you and didn't train any harder. Stupid. [/quote]
