Screw path....I'm going to go be a neurosurgeon.
How hard can it be? You open the skull, poke around, and go "There's nothing more we can do".

Or be a Neurologist.... See the patient, examine the patient, scan the head, then say.... "There's nothing more we can do... but I can tell you exactly what's wrong!"😀

The only drawback is 7 years of residency (and yes, I got the sarcasm in your post LADoc).Go for it, its 4pm here and Im heading the steam room after I get my white russian cocktail.

You know, I've been looking at their FP info, and it doesn't seem right. FP w/o OB making more in year 1-2, but less at 3 years? Whaaaa?

A FP I rotated with said his salary droped after a couple of years, then rose again after 4 or so. He said he had income gaurentee, loan payback, etc for 18 months. But after 18 monts, his income gaurentee dropped (still had loan payback for a couple of more) but wasn't booked solid. It took time to buy into the partnership and get a full compliment of patients.
Basically, money is in ownership. After you own stuff, you make more. Just think of nephrologist and thier dialysis machines or cardiologist and the echo machines.

The salary list above isn't all that accurate. My sister was given a starting salary of 350k plus benefits in radiology in Wisconsin.
Radiology is definitely the way to go if you want money and good lifestyle.

These are the averages. I am sure your sister's salary tips the scales to make this set of data inaccurate though. 😕

I think these numbers are a bit on the LOW side. Medical Economics is considered THE authuritative source for real physician income. FYI, for 2006, the AVERAGE FP income w/o was $169,000.

This has been mentioned before. The only explanation that I can come up with is that it has to do with managed care salary guarantees. Typically, when you sign on with a large managed care outfit, they start you out high as a recruiting incentive, and guarantee your salary for a couple of years. After that, you go on "production," and usually end up having to bust your ass to maintain your income...not everyone can.
Correct. Lots of us are doing better than that.

with OB? or just working crazy hours?

We're getting off on a tangent here, since the original question related to critical care salaries, but...
No OB, no hospital. Outpatient only, four days per week, eight hours per day. Call every 9th weekday/weekend. Not a salary..."eat what you kill." Full partner in a private multispecialty group, in practice five years.

Isn't Wisconsin famous for having some sort of amazingly advantageous malpractice or tax set-up? I can't remember exactly but for some reason the state hangs in my mind as very "doctor friendly."

Radiology really got me interested. Can someone tell me more about what they do?

You should ask this in the radiology forum. The critical care forum is about critical care, not radiology.
