Primary care docs "in the middle"

SoloDoc on the extremes primary care docs have to go these days.

Money quote:

In my former job as a staff physician, I calculated that my actual pay rate worked out to about $56/hour if you counted my actual hours worked. While that sounds pretty good, it makes me wonder why anyone would want to subject themselves to at least 7 years of postgraduate studies, amass mounds of student debt and live with the constant threat of being named in a malpractice suit when they could make $60-70/hour doing this.
