Considering that if he is like my GP, he will only see each patient for about 15 minutes max. At $55.00 per patient, if he can keep the waiting room filled that is $220.00 per hour.
And that does not include the kickbacks he gets from tests, prescriptions, and the stuff they push to sell you.
Not exactly poverty wages.
Forgive me for not crying a river for this guy.
It is the PAs and the NPs that collect the data, document the information, and perform the treatment. The doctor pops his head in the examination room for a few moments and gives out with the highly educated, highly trained medical council -- "let's try this drug. See me in three weeks and we can try something else".
Gee 8 years of medical school and I get "let's try this drug'?
