Right. Which was just for Internal Medicine, one of the lowest paying specialties. Here's everyone:

Those are still low IRL. I mean you can just work ER full time here in south Arkansas and make over $300k. I know FP's that make less and some that make waaaaay more. I would say the specialist pay is skewed VERY low. The Ortho's I know make at least $600k and a few well over $1million. The interventional cardiologist here make around $1million. I would double those numbers for private practice specialist. But that's just what I see in my experience. It really does vary widely, but all these numbers seem to be the low end of each field.

I agree. In the conversations I've had with ones in Private Practice, these numbers are low. Anecdotal data from a small subset isn't as strong as anecdotal data from a larger survey, though.

I'm a dentist and I can definitely attest that there are plenty of bad dentists out there that don't give a shite about anything but money. I moved out of state a few years back and went to one dentist and didnt tell him that I was a dentist. He told me I needed several teeth restored which I knew was bullshite. I asked him to show me the bitewings and promptly told him he needed to learn the difference between cervical burnout and decay. His face was priceless. Walked out and never went back.
