Medical Doctors Make too Much Money Options

[coustoe]

Did some research on Medical Doctors Salaries, I found most Specialist Average about $250,000 a year. The thing that gets me is I always hear in the news about malpractice insurance rates being to high and doctors complaining, but I just looked up the national premium rates and they are only like $8,000 a year.

uhhh $8,000 out of $250,000 ya Doc thats gonna run you out of business.

yet we have the highest malpractices then ever before.

I'm not saying doctors dont deserve to be paid, they do and good money, but not ridiculous rates. Theres a artifical supply and demand problem set up by the Doctors themselves to keep rates for common procedures ridculously high.

Hospitals wanted to qualify anesthetist to do more things that Anethesiologist do, but there was a huge backlash by Anesthesiologist.

Its similiar in other specialities, you have the majority of the Work done by nurse level or just graduate level assistants. These people know more from years of exp then some MDs but get paid way less, but are prohibited from officially doing the same things as their MD counterparts.

Next time you get sick and have to pay out the wazoo, remember that your doctor is laughing all the way to the bank, for something that couldve been done by an assistant level for way less.

oh just because you go to years of school doesn't make you automatically responsible, I think thats pretty clear from all the sexual offense and malpractice cases agaisnt doctors
