The median expected salary for a typical Surgeon in the United States is $222,257. swz.salary.com Tell me: How many OTHER jobs pay that? In the US or Canada? You really think they're going to leave an upper middle class standard of living behind for paperwork that is largely handled by others? Gee, maybe you don't know how things work here, having never left Canada, but when you deal with a doctor's office about billing and insurenace matters, you don't talk to the doc. Sometimes you don't even talk to his office. He hires a separate billing service to handle such things. Maybe you haven't heard about this either: American TV "news magazines" have been to exaggerate matters and sometimes outright lie. Remember Dan Rather recently? There was also a little matter of one of them being successfully sued by an American auto company because they televised "tests" showing one of their vehicles exploding- -except they had rigged it to do just that. Maybe you need to quit reading SI and watching TV and find out what's going on in the real world.
