Doctors are apparently the most underpaid professionals in the USA.

If I pick up the phone and call me Lawyer's office, it's $350 an hour if I get his associate, $650/hour if I get him ... & I'm getting billed whether he's talking, typing or just plain "thinking".

I'm a consultant. If I answer the phone, it's $100 minimum & $50 for every 15 minutes after that.. I have no where near the education of a Physician and surely not as smart as most of them.

The Prevailing Wage for an Electrician in Massachusetts, is $90/hour. $56 in the envelope + $13 Health Benefits + $21 Retirement.

Doctors are working for $200/hour? Crazy!
