If I'm not mistaken medical degrees in the US are postgraduate (in the UK it's undergraduate, albeit it takes more years than is typical), which increases the cost of training of a doctor (both tuition and "opportunity cost"). If you studied for 8+ years in university to become a doctor, the prospects of working as a "slave" on low salary is really unappealing.
