A friend's husband became a skin cancer surgeon and was like, "there's nothing to it. You use a laser gun and a TV screen and it's like duck hunt, except you're shooting cancer moles."

Then I googled what they get paid. Lol.

I’ve seen all the averages, etc. then I see deposition transcripts and the typical income is like 2 or 3x the “average.”

The other thing is learned from him is that there's an entire alternative finance industry for doctors that allows MASSIVE income smoothing. That's the source of the most of the loans. They take full loans for school, then can buy houses, cars, and lifestyle balloon notes while residents/interns.

Getting this right would involve slashing their income dramatically in most cases.

Oh, you’re an ortho who makes $4 mil a year? We’re gonna treat you like a Frenchman and slice it down to a reportable $400k a you’re never gonna complain again.

Look at how doctors groups talk about PA/NP/CRNA roles which exist because they lobby to keep residency spots low and the training a hazing ritual.

doctors are second to police in having a completely undeserving reputation of altruism mostly derived from daytime television

Doctors pointing to healthcare CEO pay when anyone brings up healthcare costs is kind of like AirBnB owners making six figures pointing at the Hilton CEO’s pay package when you ask why hotels and Airbnbs cost what they do

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Buffalo NY is indeed the Midwest, but I’d also include Rochester, a culturally and economically similar city only 70 miles to the east.

If I lived in the UK, I wouldn't hesitate to use the NHS, and most of their doctors make less than that.

I will never forget how every single Democrat in the senate voted to approve Marco Rubio, over “decorum” and claims that “he will be the adult in the room” when we all knew this is what he would be doing with his position - starving children to death.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 8h

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.
