Later in the article, it mentions that the docs only take home around 10% of the fees.

According to that idiot's math, internists make 1.25 million per year.

What a joke. I'd say less than 1% of internists make that kind of bank.

Try more like 10% of that number. 115k sounds a lot more like the average to me.

It would depend on what's included in that pre-op assessment. It probably includes lab work and everyone who takes part in a person's care before surgery.
