I seem to recall reading a comment on hn a few months ago about over hearing (at the gym) a transplant surgeon trying to recruit his friend saying that he could get several mill per year.

Yes, but there are probably only a thousand or so transplant surgeons in the US. You are looking at a fraction of a fraction of all doctors.

That sounds about right. I sometimes deal with surgeons through work and also through someone close to me and these surgeons seem quite wealthy considering the types of cars and houses they are talking about. Must be way into the millions. there is also no ageism so they have a secure career for almost as long as they want.
