“The costs of medical education are so high that people feel that they’ve got to specialize.” Ok, either I haven't had enough coffee yet, or that sentence makes absolutely no sense.
Does he think an ENT or a pediatrician or a cardiac specialist attends LESS school? WTH is he talking about?
WTH is he talking about? Specialist have higher average incomes than generalists
They can support higher “startup” costs than
Pediatricians, FP’s, General surgeons
What he meant is "the cost of litigation is so high" that many feel it necessary to specialize to limit the pool of potential litigants (and weasel lawyers) to those absolutely having serious medical problems (look at it this way - smaller pool (no deadbeats), probably likely to die, if they get to you they got insurance or papa G coverin' em no questions aksed, it goes on)......
Makes a whole lotta damns sense to me.
