My friend died on the way to the hospital. He was revived and went flat again. They revived him. The cardiologist went to work on him an hour after getting there. Test etc were performed, first. He of course got immediate attention. He is not over weight and was only thirty nine. I can’t medically explain his condition but it was serious. The main artery to his heart was almost completely shut off. He was in there for almost five hours. This was nine years ago. He is healthy and has since that time created two wonderful children. I don’t know what the surgeon made but.....he earned it and we are so.....so grateful. What a wonderful job he did and saved my best friend.

As a current third year medical student, I really appreciate this video! I feel like the topic of money doesn’t get talked about enough with students.

To answer your question, in my opinion I don’t think doctors get paid enough for the amount of time and effort they put into their jobs and the education leading up to their jobs (let’s keep in mind that their job is saving lives and making lives better).

This is simply because people are only capable of understanding how those people help there lives because its right in front of there face.

[@purumolmander9302]

Well athletes get payed based on how much they generate

[@as.829]

Wow this was such an in-depth video! I definitely think that either primary care physicians should be better paid, or that college/med schools should cost less.

[@vmdmckay]

I agree. If you want to retain a high quality individual, you will have to pay them more. If their cost to practice goes up (including medical education), they will simply transfer the cost to the patients and insurance. Thus, cost of medical care skyrockets. This is business 101, that many do not think applies to medicine. We need high quality providers, which will cost us money to retain. But, we also need to consider the cost of the education for these providers and understand that has significant effect on the costs associated with healthcare. Love your channel, watch all the time. Following in your path now: combat medic to physician. Applying next year. And yes, I hold an MBA, in the even anyone wants to contest the business side of medicine. Been on both sides of healthcare now (provider and administration).

[@doc_nk]

Compensation is always a great topic I like covering as well. Medscape puts my specialty ophthalmology at 366k . Ophtho has a huge range. Low starting salary but a very high ceiling. Lots of cash based work too. We are sort of secretive about our pay for bureaucratic reasons. Because most of our practice is outpatient the base salary is not necessarily our take home. Contracts are based off production and partnerships. Also depends on subspecialty . Retina surgeons average 6 to 7 hundred thousand. Thus, there are definitely many making in the 7 figures Ie. High volume cataract surgeons and lasik surgeons. But like Dr. Webb mentions there are so many factors that can boost your salary. Private practice will make much more than academics. Partnership will always be more than employed.

The reason for that is: specialties that perform procedures earn for because billing is done per procedure. So surgeons, interventional radiologists, cardiologists make the most money and paediatricians and geriatric medicine specialists make the least. Surgeons can earn tens of thousands of dollars on a one hour procedure whereas a pediatric consultation can easily be a whole hour and it would’ve only earned them a few hundred dollars.

[@mc6148]

In the video it's stated that if the doctor makes 1 million in revenue at their private practice, with 500k overhead, they will have to pay 370k in taxes and will be left with 130k. This is false. The 500k overhead would be considered part of business expenses and not take home revenue. As such, instead of the 1 million being taxed, only the 500k profit would be taxed. The doctor would probably be then left with about half of that (250k) as their post-tax income.

[@josphellihsilak4588]

I was looking for this before i commented the same. Im shocked Dr.Webb didn't spot that.

[@LilJbm1]

What about business/corporate taxes? I'd assume you'd get "double-taxed" if you will before the business profit gets dispersed in payroll, then that gets taxed on the physician's W2. Could be wrong, our tax code is retarded and I haven't started a business yet, just been researching.

[@nicholassummerlee6843]

I think Doc might need a lesson in taxes and owning a business. You're not taxed on revenue when you own a business. You're taxed on profit. All of you overhead is that you pay is basically a write-off and you'd only be taxed on the 500k profit. You'd be left with roughly 300k after all federal, state, and local taxes are paid, not 130k.

Hi Dr. Webb, I think there's an error in your math at 8:33 ! If your revenue is $1M, you would subtract the company expenses of 500k. Your taxable income falls at 500k, so you will be charged accordingly for that tax bracket.

[@EssenceyMatthew]

Correct - all those overhead costs will be pre-tax deductions.

[@johanneshalberstadt3663]

Wow. Orthopedists make on average around 200,000 here. And top earning doctors in Germany are radiologists at around 300,000 a year. Quite a difference to the U.S.

doctors in the us tend to work longer hours, and medical school costs are extremely high. Also it takes longer to become a physician here because of the mandatory bachelor's degree which also costs an exorbitant amount. So the higher salaries are justified imo

Just a quick correction, In self employment taxes you only pay taxes on the profit you make, not the overhead. This is how some companies manage to pay little to no taxes, it’s because they say they have more overhead than they actually have.

Hi. Love your videos. At 8:30 you seem to say that taxes are calculated on gross revenues but shouldn’t the taxes be calculated on profits after your overhead has been deducted.

Thank you Dr. Webb for your insights. I am not an expert on this, but I believe some if not most of the overhead expenses could be written off taxes. And some other stuff like a personal car could also potentially be written off taxes. So honestly I feel you got that part somewhat skewed. As I see it a solo self employed physician realistically could end up having more than 250k, possibly much more. Even if not, the major expenses associated with the profession had already taken care of so it is like saying 100-250K to the pocket. And for some reason Dr. Webb rounded 48% of a million to half a million, it is 20K deviation. Which also end up in the pocket at some extent. I am by no means suggesting that Docs getting overpaid. I am saying that most of them live comfortably, and with the right "life hacks" they can improve their lifestyle and economics. Would really appreciate videos and maybe some sharing of experience that made Docs from having 130K to >250K.

[@Life2dmax1]

Any advice on what resources to use to learn about the business of medicine (private practice, etc)? Do you think it would be worth it for med students to invest time into this?

Great video and analysis, but didn't this come out over a year ago? Interesting watch nevertheless

Sad thing in my area is doctors just want you in and out. They don’t want to answer your questions or concerns , and say we’ll i think this is what it is. And for heavens sake don’t make any suggestion about your care to them, then you really are treated with disrespect. They just say we’ll im the doctor so I know what’s best. My wife went to the doctor many times over 2-4 years with severe pain in her lower abdomen and lady parts, was told by many that it was Just cramps or gas pains. A year later while giving birth to our only child they had to do an emergency hysterectomy because her uterus, ovaries, and Fallopian tubes were completely destroyed by endometriosis, the doc that did the surgery said if it was caught years prior it could have been removed by ablation and no one ever answered for this. So I think they are paid to much for what little they care for their patients. Can’t say that for all doctors but the ones in my area are a joke.

Where's cardiovascular/thoracic surgery doc? We used to be the highest until cardiology fucked it up for us

[@malenurse3607]

Would you be able to interview a certified register nurse first assistant(CRNFA)? From my understanding they are considered the P.A's but in the nursing side. Its an alternate option for those who don't want the debt of P.A school but still want to work with surgeon and do procedures.

[@Scott-is2cb]

I am wondering, what about trauma surgeons? Well actually will be moving towards critical care surgeon. Where do you see that fitting in on the list? If I may be so bold in asking. Would think some type of compensation would be present considering it is falling out of favor rather quickly. Hopefully legal coverage at least? Anyway, your thoughts? Thank you

[@rayanabuomar1113]

What about anesthesiologists?

[@doctorbobby4543]

We do well.

[@jamielannister3627]

@@doctorbobby4543 it sounds like a boring job when compared to surgery, though

[@jaybhatt9976]

Hey there....the figures which you talked about in this video initially that this speciality makes this amount of money....was that after removing taxes and overhead or we need to remove like 90% of that amount just for the overhead and taxes? Can you please tell that how much amount we get in our hand to spend on our dreams and life out of that amount?....you told it varies but I just wanted to know an approx range for each speciality

[@jaybhatt9976]

Reply please

[@karaokekingskingdom]

that maths at 8:34 don't add up, that's scary that one slipped through the net. you would only pay taxes on the net after overhead, so it would be on the 500k. at 37% that would be 185 in tax, leaving you with 315 after tax, surely...

[@pikusarker1359]

How much canadian doctors make after overhead? Nice video.

[@brimmed]

holy cow, wish i actually gave a damn about biology, etc. i'm just an engineering pleb over here. i guess it works out alright considering only had to do 4 years of school and generally get to slack off at work

[@LilJbm1]

??? Sorry what are you referring to? If you mean practice medicine it isn't all "slacking off at work" and even if it was it isn't 4 years of school. It's 4 years of UG education, 4 years of med school, then (WOOHOO NO MORE TAKING OUT LOANS) 3-12 years or so of residency depending on what you do. It's minimum 11 years of school, 8 of which you make $0 and are taking on debt.

[@cjDollar]

if i want to challenge general surgery residency and fellowship at age 42, is it too late or commonly seen case?

[@reckless_ashen9383]

Don't really know where to post a request so I'll just do it here 😅 Can you please do a video on instability? Be it craniocervical or lumbar instability :) thank you so much

[@austinthompson1961]

The overhead would be a tax deductible business expense correct? Would you not just be responsible for taxes on the 500,000?

[@UzayrSiddiqui]

Yes, you are correct.

[@blackphilosophy9691]

This is a very informative and enlightening video Dr. Webb! May you be showered with blessings and peace. I hope you are doing well. I have two questions. Do you think tattoos will affect the view of the doctors in major black community hospitals and communities? My second question is, are HBCU medical schools softer on having tattoos as a medical student?

[@antoniowebbmd]

Good question. I answer it in this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2Kwe36pnsidaMk and no I don’t think they will be softer bc of tattoos.

Still not sure if I want to become a doctor.
