My school (TJU) cost me roughly $60000 a year. 4 years of that and you get $240000.
My case is a bit extreme as the average medical student emerges with only $100000 of debt. But still, it just goes to illustrate that a medical education is long and expensive.
If you are doing it because it seems cool or because you expect a quick payday, it's gonna be a disappointing ride.
As for my own medical malpractice, $250000 isn't what I pay. I was just using that as an example (someone previously quoted that some surgeons may pay that much). However, I still wouldn't characterize medmal rates as low and insignificant. I only see them rising from this point forward!! (and it is certainly something prospective doctors should keep in mind or pay attention to in the news)
