That's not necessarily true.

Some doctors want to do diagnostics. To blatently make up something like 'ER docs made less grades in med school', is just dumb. You have ZERO information regarding why ER doctors chose to be ER doctors. Maybe some didn't want to do more school, maybe some went to med school to BE A GP.

Your comments are nothing more than baseless assertions that have no footing in reality. Your sample size of one, (your sister) tells us absolutely nothing.

I would rather have the best diagnostician diagnose me than the best surgeon.

Of course some people choose a certain path, despite being qualified for a better paying one. But most choose prestige and money. At least this consideration is in the mix, if not the dispositive factor.

ER docs have shitty hours, shitty work, and shitty pay compared to many other MDs.

Family doctors average a fraction of what radiologists or anesthesiologists earn.

There are exceptions, but if you look at top 10% of medical school graduates, an exceedingly rare number will be going into ER rooms and family practice.
 
An eye doctor that takes Medicare makes more than any other kind of Doctor. Florida ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen was paid $20.8 million last year from Medicare alone.


HAHA at your weak ass $1.5 million for being a brain surgeon. Government largesse is where its at!!

He billed 20 mill does not mean he had a personal income of 20 mill.

But yeah I'd say the guy does allright.

Says who? Where are you getting this information from? Did you poll all doctors or something?

So do Chef's, and lots of other professions. Lots of people do them because they love them.

If every Dr. was a surgeon or radiologist, or cardiologist, etc. no one would get treatment. Unless of course you needed surgery, or something specific.

Do you have any idea how the process of becoming a doctor works?

You graduate medical school, you then interview at a multitude of residency programs. You rank them. Meanwhile, the programs rank those med school graduates that interviewed with them.

Now, are there family doctors who got straight A's in med school? Sure.

But which ever fields are in the highest demand, those don't take C students.

Those who make the best grades go to the best residences.

You can almost guarantee that your family doctor, and the ER doctors you see got much lower grades than the heart surgeon.

You realize that specializing takes a lot more time and money too right? Not everyone wants to spend all that extra time in school.

Generalizing based off of incomplete information seems to be a forte of yours.

Are you really trying to argue with me that the average ER or family practice doctor might have done just as well in med school as the neurosurgeon or radiologist?

Of course specialization takes more time, but during residency you get a stipend, and during the fellowship that follows it is significantly more.

Every neurosurgeon could have been an ER doc if they had chose, but few ER docs could have went into the residency for surgeons.

Let me just ask you a question.

Do you think it is good or bad that the guys who open up your chest and perform a triple bypass operation on your heart outperform the guy you go to see for an antibiotic when you have strep throat?

I'm not looking up shit as far as citation for facts I know to be true.

I have doctors in my family, I was married to a person who went through a very similar process in a related filed.

Family and ER docs are the c=md crowd.

extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

if you were as good at providing citation as you are at stealing from your parents, your retarded views would not be the laughing stock of an entire election cycle.

Do you really think I give a shit if you accept what I say as fact?

Tell me, how do you think it is decided who takes the low paying positions in medicine and who gets to go on to the 400k+ specialties?

Looks?

Is it really an extraordinary claim to say that the residency programs for fields that earn 3 or 4 times the income are more competitive?

So why not just dismiss it? Instead of whining about it.
