I might add, most physicians do not make $400,000 a year.

We're not talking about most physicians.
We're talking about cardiologists

The average yearly salary for cardiologists working in 2010 is $285,000 per year. This is a general median value whereas the mean value is closer to $300,000 per year. Most starting cardiologists with less than two years of experience can expect to earn closer to $200,000 as a salary, while more experienced cardiologists may earn upwards of $400,000 per year or even more when prestige comes into play.

So a mediocre cardiologist with limited experience makes "only" $300K... and I'm supposed to feel sorry for him because he can no longer slave in the rat race for those "meager" earnings?

Oh cry me a river!

Perhaps you should have studied harder in school instead of dreaming of government cheese and other people's money (OPM). Class envy and Marxist temper tantrums won't absolve you of your own poor life choices.
