I am trolling here, but I thought I would include some input to this question. I am currently a nursing student (BSN program -- but will be taking my pre-req's and will be applying to med school in a few years). Anyways, I have a nursing instructor who is married to an EM doc. I was having a conversation with her a few months back about her husband, his previous education, how he likes his work, etc... She was telling me that he is in his mid 50's and works 3 12's a week (his shifts are a little different -- he works 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. 3 days a week). I didn't ask the question, "how much does he make", however, she did voluntarily offer the information. She stated her husband makes around $145 an hour.
I have no clue what the "hourly" rate of an EM doc is; however, I do know from looking at statistics and reports and EM docs average well over $200K a year. Her husband makes around $250K a year (145 * 36 hrs * 52 wks). That is of course pre-tax income.
I live in a city where EM docs are scarce because of the relatively abundance of new hospitals around the city. Furthermore, until last year, our city had no EM residency. My professor had told me that her husband knows of a few open positions around the city that are paying their EM docs well over the $145 mark.
