GP's at $200k, surely you jest. I am an internist and make less than my wife, a Nurse Practitioner (and she doesn't take call, or the liability, work weekends, work late, on and on). I have often though of alternative careers, and we already run every form revenue generation in our practice. I'd be a pharmacist in a skinny minute if I could make 80-100 and work 40 hrs. Then I could volunteer my services as a physician 20 hours/wk, which would continue my true love, and would still be less total hours than I work now.

I am good friends with three GP's and they make $180-200K per year. I would have not believed it after I saw the national averages but this is a rural area and we have just a few physicians that choose to locate in this area and are compensated really well.

Thank you, Hillarycare, government regulations & interference. Thank you ambulance chasing trial lawyers.
