Answer 1

It all depends on what specialty. neuro and heart surgeons make around 500,000 up to a million. gps and primary care docs make only 100,000 to 150,000 not a lot when you consider the long hours and expensive education. overall easily one of the most underpaid professions.

Answer 2

Around 200k is typical, but that isn't really very much when you consider that you need 8 years of college, plus a residency to get there. Get a bachelor's degree in business and work hard, and you'll be making a lot more than this by age 35.

Answer 3

Earnings of physicians and surgeons are among the highest of any occupation. According to the Medical Group Management Association�s Physician Compensation and Production Survey, median total compensation for physicians in 2004 varied by specialty, as shown in table 2. Total compensation for physicians reflects the amount reported as direct compensation for tax purposes, plus all voluntary salary reductions. Salary, bonus and/or incentive payments, research stipends, honoraria, and distribution of profits were included in total compensation.

Self-employed physicians—those who own or are part owners of their medical practice—generally have higher median incomes than salaried physicians. Earnings vary according to number of years in practice, geographic region, hours worked, and skill, personality, and professional reputation. Self-employed physicians and surgeons must provide for their own health insurance and retirement.

Answer 4

About 5 years ago one of my college instructors said his son had just graduated med school and served his internship and was offered 90K in Family Practice. On the other hand my Cardiologist knocks down 400K+. He even admitted it to me as he presented me with a bill for a 15 minute exam.

Answer 5

It depends on what kind of doctor you are. A brain surgeon is obviously going to make more than a pediatrician. It also depends on how much demand exists for the practice the doctor is in (heart surgeon, OB/GYN, etc.).

Answer 6

It is getting less and less all the time thanks to lawyers and their frivolous law suits and the government will make it worse when they totally take over the health care system. That, plus all the illegal aliens getting free health care.

Answer 7

It depends on where their practice is located, and what specialty they are. Some make millions in a year.
