> That said, it is certainly not the case that US doctors average $1m/yr in salary. There are some doctors that make that much or more, and different specializations make different salaries on average, but the overall average is more like $225k/yr.
The average primary care physician makes $265K/year.
Among specialists, the average is $382K/year.
Not sure where where you're getting an "overall average" of $225K. In fact, the blended average is $352K/year.

- saxonww 3y agoI looked around at several sites like that one, and saw 'averages' quoted all over the place. That's why I said 'more like 225k/yr' instead of declaring that to be the average. Sites with lower averages: Forbes https://www.forbes.com/advisor/in/education/doctor-salary-in-us/ https://www.forbes.com/advisor/in/education/doctor-salary-in...

It's just not anywhere close to $1m/yr, which was my point.
