Your definition of making bank, 3-4 years post-residency is...

On a somewhat unrelated note, I have to say that I am not hugely impressed with forensic pathology as of yet. It seems to me that the lion's share of cases they do are natural death cases for which the attending physician was simply too chicken-$hit to certify a cause of death. Maybe I'm too green, but it seems to me that autopsies can get old, fast.

LADoc00 said:No, there was a time in the not so distant past when CP got a CUT of the total gross of a clinical lab. Im talking like 25% right off the top, and in some cases that was in the millions(!! BIG pimping). That was changed in the 80s and is now essentially non-existent. Try more like a CP directorship fee in the 100-150 range for a standard 150 bed hospital. Forensics is total and utter crap. I would wish it on my worst enemy. Especially in communities where the sheriff dept admins it, you are treated like **** and paid it to!
juddson said:Get out of town!!! A clinical path guy can only make in the 100k to 150k range?
If these numbers are true, then forensics are looking better and better. It's 8-4 and no call for the same money (and no liability at all). Does anybody else want to contradict the numbers above?

LADoc00 said:huh, you are comparing CP only to Forensics??
That is like betting on a fight between 2 ******s.
CameronFrye said:Yeah, I wonder if he thinks a clinical pathologist is the person signing out surgicals and doing "clinical" work.
LADoc00 said:There is serious confusion here, I agree.
OKAY
Forensics....................120-150,000
CP director Full time......150,000
Blood Bank/TM.............175,000
Surgical Pathology........250,000
Hemepath...................275,000
Dermpath.................. 350,000
that would 2-3 years post fellowship im my estimates.
