if "average cash" alludes to what is the highest paid profession, on average, in the United States, you might want to look up "average." You've made a common error: comparing previously obscene salaries earned by MD's to what are now merely excellent salaries. |

if they were obscene and now there excellent. you agree they are trending down. In 5 years they will be average and in 10 years they will be shit. look at some other countries where this has happened i.e nhs .the simple fact is that medical care costs a lot and its going up expotentially. insurance doesnt want to pay MDs the cash and goverments sure dont want to.
as i said im not opposed to mds getting paid well (remember i am a md),i think for the amount of study we do and the amount of hard work we put in we should be the highest paid. but it just doesnt happen anymore.
