How can an FP do any procedures or deliver babies in big cities such as Chicago or NY if a) there are specialists just for that reason, and b) Unless you are the only doc in a rural small town, no one will trust you more than a specialist?
So my question is about a previous thread claiming that FPs could make 200k... How is that possible in a big city?
I live in Chicago and would really consider FP if I knew I would be able to be compensated for my hard work. It seems that all the primary care docs around here are bitter, frustrated, and severely underpaid. They always complain about low reimbursements, rising overhead, and annoying insurance companies.
Everyone's thoughts will be much appreciated!!
Thanks
