Plastics is likely dragged down by a significant number of academic surgeons. Anyone doing a high volume of elective cosmetic procedures would laugh at these numbers. Derm likely reflects the number of hours worked, which is lower than other specialties. If you looked at a chart of earnings per hour, derm and ortho would be much closer together. NSG isn't mentioned but it should be the same or higher than ortho (with vascular and CT maybe a bit lower). Overall these numbers are low and represent a lot of physicians who are optimizing for lifestyle rather than income. There is still a lot of money in medicine if you know where to look.
