My wife is a physician, I will have you know that she works very hard for every dime she makes. She is a psychiatrist and works part time now after getting burnt out after working full time for an HMO for a couple of years. Even though she works part time she is still responsible for her patients 24 hours a day, and has to do weekend call at the hospital. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement is poor and even though a persons benefits may run out, as the physician on record my wife continues to be responsible for providing care on an emergency basis. She also spent many years in medical school and residencies earning about $30,000 a year for putting in 70 hour + weeks and being sleep deprived several times a week. Most of the physicians that I know are not your plastic surgeon types. They work very hard and don;t make the kind of money that 9-7 five day a week types make.
