The earning scale for dermatology has to be related to supply and demand, vs complexity and risk. I had a gruesome, yet non-life threaten skin cancer situation. Three months for a diagnosis appt.
I wonder if that's straight salary for dermatology or if it includes all the anti aging BS a lot of them do. I know a dermatologist who has her own line of skin care products, does botox injections, some kind of lazer procedure, and on and on. That kind of stuff is the majority of what she does rather than traditional dermatology and she makes absolute bank.

She also added that every Trauma doc she’s worked with has been the most emotionally cold person she’s ever met. Zero emotional reaction to anything.
They have to be.

Why does orthopedics pay so much money?
I’d have thought neurosurgeons would make more
Neurosurgery pays more than orthopedic surgery. Neurosurgery is not on the list. Neurology is on the list and you are mistaking it for neurosurgery.
Neurology is not a hard residency to get into. Neurosurgery is an insanely hard residency to get into.
tl;dr - don't conflate neurology ($350k+/year) with neurosurgery ($700k+/year).

Why? You realize they are general surgeons with a specialty in Ortho right? The time they spend in training is insane and then they additionally have one of the more grueling work schedules for a doctor additionally. Furthermore, a lot of the doctors that make the most amount of money are in a field that is elective procedures. A lot of orthos make their money on the best paying electives.
Many orthos have to additional work some general surgery on call shifts. So they work their normal job then have to be on call for the ER or whatever.

You are wrong. Ortho docs are not general surgeons who specialized.
So much misinformation in this thread

Neurosurgeons make well over a million. 7-9 year residency that they work their arse off. Highest malpractice rates by far. Terrible lifestyle.
I got referred to see a neurosurgeon for a disk issue in my neck and he asked me what field I was in and I said EM. He said “best specialty in all of medicine.” IDK if I agree or not (ask me in 10 years), but I was kind of taken aback that a neurosurgeon would be envious of the EM lifestyle. There are pros and cons to most fields in medicine, I guess.

My brother was an RN in the ER for about 10 years. He told me the MVAs and GSW weren't to bad to deal with. It was the kids and the people that came in feeling bad but talking, laughing and joking then ended up dieing on them for 1 reason for another.
For his mental health he had to get out of there. Worked in the Cath Lab for a long time then became an FNP. Now he works in a clinic treating colds and doing physicals. Much less stressful and makes way more money.

Maybe I’m wrong, but my father in law was a Duke med school grad and Ortho surgeon and that was his career path. One weekend a month he did general surgery on call for the ER. His first residency or whatever was a year or 2 of general surgery then he specialized after that.

I do.
Do you know why that is?

The docs making fricking bank for (relative to other specialties) less time training are rural family med moonlighting in rural ERs and doing minor surgeries like appendectomies.
You're right BUT their quality of life can be awful. If they're the only one who can do what you mentioned in a wide geographical radius, they're going to get called 24/7.

sub clinics. The doctor only needs like an eight hour course and then can prescribe it. They can have up to 275 patients a year at $200 an appointment for 10 minutes each

Again, how am I wrong? Why do they do on call then? Why did my father in law treat hundreds of GSW’s and cut off 100s of limbs? Among other things? He specialized in Knees and some other things, he had to do on call one weekend a month and part of the reason he retired early. Maybe saying general surgeon is the wrong exact term, but they sure as hell know how to do some surgeries outside of their specialty they learn during residency. Maybe the residency has changed since his time too, but he started off with a general surgery residency.

No way he they had a full ride in med school and opted ER. Top 1% get med school schollies and no way they choose ER. Would have been a dermatologist or higher level subspecialty with that high of a rank!!

Sounds like he didn't get into an orthopedics residency right out of medical school, so he did a general surgery internship (1 year, not a full residency). Then he reapplied and got an ortho residency spot.
