Richard Reece summarizes the ridiculous comparison between physicians salaries here and abroad:
Sermo readers, some of whom had practiced in Europe, commented,
“¢Americans must pay off educational debts of up to $200,000 while European college and medical training is subsidized.
“¢Europeans may work half the hours of Americans.
“¢Europeans enjoy miniscule malpractice costs.
“¢American practice costs are higher.
To sum up, comparative incomes of American and European doctors must be put in cultural context.
