This article is extremely misleading. Even though these salaries might be high, they aren't adjusting for number of hours worked. When we think of a typical "salaried" job, we think 40 hours/week. This is almost certainly not the case, even for the cushiest physician specialties. My girlfriend is a critical care physician about to enter attending-hood working at a university hospital. She will be working a minimum of 50 hours/week and with all the administrative tasks she's being asked to do, it'll probably be more like 60+. Really we need to see hourly rates to get a better idea of what physicians actually make.
