Shortage of doctors and some wonder why? My son is a physician. He went to school (elementary thru med school) for 20 years. After that he had an internship and a residency. Medical school is very expensive. Interns and residents make small salaries. My son has been a physician for 24 years. Last year he saw more patients and made less money than 10 years ago due to decreased insurance, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. On top of that his staff has increased to handle all of the insurance paper work and referrals. Wonder why we have a shortage of doctors?
