Tiller is one of the highest-paid docs in the US. His net has been close to a million a year. OBs that are established (that means, out of school debt and with a thriving practice) at the top of their careers net (before taxes and malpractice insurance) about $200K.

The most highly compensated physicians in the US are specialty surgeons who have to go in for several years of additional school--even they, at the very top of their earning capacity in their late thirties and early forties (after their original practice debt and school debts are paid), gross around $400K. (take taxes and malpractice out of that)

Just to give you context.

I would like to see the statistics because all of the specialty physicians I personally am acquainted with make between $330K and at least a million per year. Even the General practitioners around here make $250-350K right out of school.

The last data I saw for veterinarians was $40K per year and nurses $30K per year. Pharmacists average $100K per year. This was just back in November at a business seminar that included a talk about professional salaries and education.

George doesn't carry much malpractice insurance. After all most of his patients die. He could only get sued if the patient (baby) lives.
