This comment is not only factually wrong (It's not the AMA) but misleading as well. The typical medical student today leaves med school $250k in debt at 8% interest then spends years in a residency where they make $50-60k working 80+ hours per week in a likely high cost of living area. If they started schooling immediately after high school they probably won't actually make that 270k (median, so many starting out are lower) until they're 30+ years old. Contrast that to a completely mediocre web dev who can pull 100k+ at 21 putting in 40-50 hours a week and do you really still think physicians are overpaid? Keep in mind the majority end up in family or internal medicine working 60+ hours a week for ~$175k/yr. Going to medical school is a massive financial risk with an incredibly uncertain future. If you want a human punching bag then turn your gaze towards hospital administrators, pharmaceutical executives, and exploitative vendors. The actual hospital employees are just as much victims of the healthcare shit show as members of the public are.
