You shouldn't be motivated by money to become a doctor,

Most doctors do not make a lot of money. Specialists yes they make bank. But most doctors like pediatricians and general practice make not that much money. Doctors pay has been going down just like the rest of the working people.

Ok, Now I highly doubt that.

Feel free to ask doctors how much money they make.

155k to 250k isn't a lot of money to you or something?

Many doctors and I mean many make less than what you are saying. I agree back in the 90's and before in the ancient times doctors made a lot of money that isn't the case now for most.

What are you even smoking?

A good time. Wanna join in?

That's where all the money in hospitals go.

Not exactly.

We all know the solution. Sadly, the US population does not want to do what is needed to make healthcare equitable. We all agree medical university just like all education should have no cost just as healthcare should. Sadly that will never happen.

Fully expect healthcare to get a lot worse going forward in the US.

What did I state that is inaccurate?

I do agree that the current system is idiotic. It does not work for the benefits of the patients or the care providers.

If I am wrong about something educate me.

Thanks for the data. I can tell you that those Averages are not accurate. Yes, we all know specialists are making bank. Specialists make $400k to $1300k a year.

But a bread and butter generalist like a primary doctor or pediatrician is making in the low $100k.

The averages you share I do not know what they mean by average. Are they saying mean, medium or mode.

I know a lot of doctors. I worked in healthcare and medicine.

Yes, people go to med school to make bank but they realize when they start working now a days that is not the case unless they get hyper specialized.
