What does an orthopedic surgeon do? how much does he make?

Question

i want the information about the ones that do "spine surgery".

Answer 1

The ones that do "spine surgery" are called neurosurgeons. It takes 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of med school and approximately 8 years of internship/residency to become one. Salaries are variable, depending on where you live, but are, as you would expect, impressive. On the other hand, malpractice insurance rates have skyrocketed and that cuts significantly into a salary and prevents some physicians from practicing, particularly surgeons. Those that stay are the ones who are driven by their love of the field, not the money. (people need to contact their congress persons to legislate better on lawsuits). I work in the medical field and know an obstetrician who left his practice, retiring early, because in his words, he was putting in almost 3 months of work a year just to pay his insurance premiums.

Answer 2

Orthopedic surgeons do surgery on areas of bones and your joints. Each one may specialize in a certain area of that. Which means that each one can earn different amounts of money. All in all- a lot more than I make in a ten year span.

Answer 3

Orthopedic surgeons make good money, if their office runs well. The origins of the word "orthopedic" is from the Greek 'orthos' or straight, and 'pedic' or child, meaning straight child or one who treats scoliosis.
The surgeons I worked for were specialists, but they were looking out for the health of the whole patient - heart, lungs, everything. Good luck to you.

Answer 4

Orthopedic surgeons who do spine surgery do surgical procedures on the bony vertebrae. They make oodles of money.
