    Physician's salaries make up apprtximaoely 20% of national healthcare spending... So, it's a significant issue, but it's only one among several others, all of which fall on the shoulders of the AMA union and both the Federal and state governments.Someone might remember this better than me, but there used to be a matrix that Milton Friedman did with four boxes...and the four boxes represented:1. Someone spending his/her own money on him/herself.2. Someone spending his/her money on someone else.3. Someone spending someone else's money on him/herself.4. Someone spending someone else's money on a third party.Our Healthcare system stays in boxes three and four...the boxes with the most inefficiency and waste...I'm still disgusted...

    The guy above me posted what I waentd to say. Most of the whiners here don't realize that many doctors are working as much as two full-time jobs. When a college professor shows up at 5am and has to stay for 20-30 hours straight, doing surgery on someone's heart or brain, then I'll welcome their opinion on physician salaries. The plumber charges $75/hr. Why is it so unreasonable to pay a surgeon the same? 80 hours a week, with time and a half for overtime, amounts to $50/hour. My wife is a nurse, and she makes $50/hour for overtime.As for Robert Miller: "The last time I was in a hospital for surgery, 1 nurse was covering a ward of more than 20 rooms overnight."Yeah, right.

    We all want to be the best parent that we can pilosbsy be. However, with the demands of modern life, it is not always easy to be there for your child, know what to do for the best for them and look after the rest of the family and your own needs. Reading this book can help you to get a good balance in all of these things.

    matt,While AMA may be powerful and may not wish cmoietption, do they in fact fund all medical training? As far as I know professional regulation bodies help develop guidelines for medical curriculi, set professional standards of training including residency requirements and licensing examinations, set standards of professional conduct, provide for liability insurance or set guidelines for mandatory coverage required, provide ongoing professional development courses, provide for grants & financial assistance programs and administer disciplinary programs.Wouldn't the funding medical schools more correctly fall under the purview of government?

    1) Are you adjusting psycihian compensation by country based on differences between median income in the population?2) How do you incentivize someone to take on 12 years of post-high school education, take on over $100,000 in education debt, work 80+ hour weeks, be responsible for life and death decisions for patients every day, pay for medical malpractice insurance, and work every day knowing that you can lose everything you worked for if the patient you are seeing right now sues you?3) Do you think the best and brightest would still be interested in medicine if it paid $100,000 on average?
