radiology and dermatology are two of the most competitive so that should say something.

Lmao that sounds like a typical cardio- thoracic surgeon. Cockiest bunch of doctors to deal with. Rightfully so, but that is spot on what I would expect from one.

Drinking screwdrivers and then operating after sounds cool to me...

I am probably further along than you expect. This thread was more out of curiosity of public opinion. I think most people going into these fields know they aren't going to have the general medical knowledge of an internist/ CC / etc. Subspecialties by the very nature subspecialize and forget a lot of general Medicine that they don't practice.

Radiology has honestly decreased of late secondary to fears of reimbursement etc. Those doctors are truly under appreciated though. A great radiologist is irreplaceable.

Interventional Neuroradiology is pretty high speed.

Are anesthesiologists the highest paid? I read that somewhere, have no idea though.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 10:14 pm to Doc Fenton
Yeah that sounds about right.

Hell yes we are!!
But in all seriousness, surgical sub specialists make a shite ton more than general anesthesiologists.

They are well compensated but not the highest paid by any stretch. They are not hurting to put food on the dinner table either though.

They deff get paid the most for the least amount of work.
No offense.

Haha. Very little work until it hits the fan and then you see what the money is worth.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 10:25 pm to GeauxTigers777
Yeah high liability. That's where the money is.

I guess that's why they suck in the Army
. I woke up while I was having screws put in my finger for a spiral fracture, and spent 10 minutes listening to DR's talk about their weekend. Luckily, my arm hurt so bad from the tourniquet, I barely noticed the screws. Posted on 2/20/14 at 10:34 pm to DrTyger
The money in medicine is with the procedures. That's where anesthesiologist make their money. Everything they do involves some procedure, be it a surgeons procedure or the anesthesiologist themselves doing the procedure. There is no clinic or rounding time, like say a general surgeon would have to have in order to schedule patients and see them post op. It's just procedures, day after day. All day.

How much do they make?

FIFY.
These guys are very rare (about 300-400 in the country), but most are pretty smart. They're mostly academic types than clinicians though. A full day for a Neuro-ophthalmologist is about 10 patients. The one I deal with most often has patients fill out a 10 page questionnaire before being seen.
