How is it that Gas Doc's make more than Surgeons

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am very interested in Gas and I've always thought that Surgeons make more per year than an Anesthesiologist. I am a little ignorant on how surgeons and gas docs bill for there services. anyone out there familiar with this info.

I was also looking at the classifieds for Anesthesiologists in the back of The "Anesthesiology"Journal and there were tons of ads that posted starting salaries at 300k plus full benefits. Those numbers seems incredible!

So basically I am asking where does the money come from and do insurance companies become a pain in the butt like in other specialties?


Thanks

Duplicate thread, so I'm closing this one. If you want to make it a surgeons vs anesthesiologists fight, feel free to respond to the open thread in the anesthesiology forum.
