As an internist (and Fox News contributer!), how much do you think he makes a year? $200K?, $300K, $400K? The latter would be my guess (if not more). And he can’t afford $5K for new carpets and paint in his office? Please.

With that $200k/$300k/$400k he has office staff to pay... at least one RN, in NY, most likely no less than $50k. Then he needs a receptionist/scheduler who likely does double duty pulling and filing his patient charts, in NY, probably $30k. And thanks to the onerous federal regulations imposed on him for the privilege of participating in Medicare program, he also needs a staff member knowledgeable in coding and compliance regulations, in NY, probably as much as it costs to have an RN, $50k.

Maybe the RN does his patients' blood draws, too. If not, he needs a med. tech. to do that and the height/weight/BP stuff, and that would cost him another $30k.

And with all the money left over, he would need to pay his rent, utilities, liability/malpractice insurance, staff benefits (med. insurance, workmans comp., Social Security, etc.)

Hell, he should be rolling in the dough.
