That's part of the problem, but we also have a problem with limited medical schools in general and with those schools charging through the nose because of that scarcity.
I have a nephew training to be a doctor now. He's looking at $500k in student loan debt by the end. That's a major problem.
- troosevelt 5mo agoThat's why I have ahrd time getting mad at doctors. What else are they supposed to do besides charge absurd rates?

- sssilver 5mo agoWhen my surgeon charged $250,000 for my hand reconstruction surgery, how much of it did he personally pocket, and how much of that went towards that $500,000 debt vs. his brand new S-class Mercedes?
- cogman10 5mo agoDepends entirely on how he's employed. If it's his own private practice then yeah, he pockets a lot of that 250k. If he's working for a hospital, then he has basically no influence on the price he's not payed per surgery.
