Mark Lanier, up close. "The 45-year-old Texas lawyer describes himself as 'just a common person.' But this common man earns $10 million in a good year, and his firm will receive 13 percent of the Vioxx judgment (though it will probably be reduced under Texas law)."

Why do physicians care so much what everyone else makes but rarely want to share the details of their own finances?

Physician average earnings, by speciality, are exceedingly public. Or do you think the fourth year medical students at my school decided what speciality to apply to in the dark?
Just kidding.
Granted there can be a lot of variability between similiarly trained doctors in different situations. Even with that, I'm not sure the generalized charge that all or a even a good number of physicians are reluctant to disclose their personal earnings, I guess because you think they're excess, is very valid.
But really, you can find accurate average figures online.
The public's overestimation of physician income isn't from a lack of resources.
