$160,000 - that's what a typical family / internal medicine physician earns after expenses but before taxes
Yet it's often not enough in a world where rising costs collide with stagnant reimbursements. On average, a newly minted physician in the U.S. graduates with $155,000 in medical school debt. Add to that staggering figure a mortgage, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and perhaps car payments and the cost of raising kids and that 6-figure income evaporates pretty quickly.
What's even more appalling?
There are articles abound like this, published Sept. 2012: "How Much Should Doctors Really Make?"
Read it if you must, the question alone should cause alarm. What's next - how big should a doctor's house be?
Look doctors - enough should be enough, there is a better way. We'll show you.
If you suffer from apathy and/or defeatism, think of it like this: you have this unhealthy patient, if they do as you instruct they will become healthier, no question. But, they cannot see it, worse, cannot achieve it, but you know they can - we feel the same way about your medical practice - "business".
