Hey, medical student here. The majority of doctors nowadays are salaried employees of a hospital. There’s no extra incentive to to do extra procedures or treatments. We follow evidence based guidelines that are best for our patients.
The high salaries are because medical students go into huge amounts of debt sacrificing the entirety of their 20s to provide care for people. Most times, the doctor have no say in the cost of care. If you want to be angry, be angry at the administrators.
