So if my understanding is correct, ER docs work between 40-45 hours per week and are paid hourly. With the majority of ER docs making over $200,000, it stands to reason that an ER doc working 80 hours per week could make $400,000 or more. Is this possible? Do you know of any attending physicians that opt to work more hours for the additional money?
If this is possible, couldn't a doctor do this for a couple years after residency (and while still young) to knock out those student loans and play "catch up" for all those missed income years?
