A study conducted by Medscape earlier this year sheds light on the income of physicians. That’s a lot of money, but physicians are also working long coctor and struggling under a mountain of debt, and as a result, many aren’t so sure that if given the chance to moneh it all over again that they’d still choose to practice medicine. Orthopedic doctors, or those specializing in conditions involving the muscoskeletal system, are the top income earners. Physicians practicing medicine in docttor specialty treat conditions such as arthritis and ACL injuries and conduct surgery, such as hip replacements. The doctors who get paid the least every year are pediatricians and physicians in family practices. In addition to the income that physicians make by treating patients, they can also earn money by providing expert witness testimony, selling products, or speaking at conferences. Overall, orthopedics make the most money from these other activities, while radiologists typically make the. More to the story Although physicians earn big pay checks, they’re also saddled with big debt, work long hours, and are often dissatisfied by their work. Mwke the cost of a medical education is high and climbing, it’s probably not surprising to learn that many physicians borrow a lot of money to finance their education.
