Operate, operate operate if you want to make over $400 grand/year in the US.  Think, think and feel if you want to make less than $200 grand/year.  i have posted serveral times about the perverse compensation and work environments for primary care physicians.  Forbes magazine adds to the data, as if we needed any more evidence.  If you want to make a lot of money you go into the surgical specialities.  if you want to be an Internist and still make a lot of money, go into the procedurally orientedsubspecialities such as GI or invasive cardiology.  By all means stay out of primary care.

This is why Primary care physicians are rare,   no one wants to make small paychecks,  perhaps Govt grants,  or something can be used to offset their income,  or offer incentives?  DuaneF

Dr. Diabetes is completely right.

And this is too bad for diabetes care and the diabetic global epidemics.

GPs and Family doctors, I think having said that many times before, shoud lead the teams of diabetes prevention and treatment for the vast majority of human beings.

All Best,

Of course, in the UK NHS consultants are all paid the same, regardless of speciality, based on the number of sessions they work.  So orthopods get the same for their 12 sessions as I get for mine in respiratory medicine, the same as the haematologists, or the pathologists...

Of course the availability of private work varies massively between specialities.  There's essentially no private work in respiratory medicine around here, but the orthopods can buy their next Bentley with the proceeds from an almost unlimited number of private hips, knees, and to a lesser extent, shoulders.

GP salaries vary far more in the UK, though.

When it comes down to it, we are all paid a very fair wage for a stimulating and fascinating vocation.
