Too variable for any one number to be useful. Use salary.com for specifics.

Don't post if you don't know what your talking about, most if not all statistics showing doctors salaries specifically say AFTER malpractice, office, staff, and all other work expenditures, but before taxes, second who ever posted that 150k a year after taxes becomes 65k year, either doesn't live in america, or is a fool, WAYYYY WAYYYYYYY over the highest tax bracket, which is about 35 percent, I could be off by a few percentage points about nothing that will make a noticable difference, that means you lose 52,000 a year in federal income tax, (thats why you will not be voting for Hilary "the communist" Clinton in 08) putting your profit after all expenditures and federal taxes at 98,000 a year.
That alone is a very high salary much higher than average, and think, that isn't even going to be your salary, thats going to be you profit.

"Don't post if you don't know what you're talking about" was a rather rude thing to say.
First, $150K is precisely the right salary to be using based on the citations and discussion above.
Second, national income taxes are around 35%. Payroll taxes are 13.6%. State income taxes in, say, California are 10%. City and county taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, gasoline taxes, car taxes, and in some cases capital gains taxes continue to erode this. 57% taxes seems like an underestimate to me. Now consider malpractice insurance.
Want to do the math? Be my guest.

The geographics are ever so important. We have many physicians, excellent ones here in our area, the NYC area. But for the most part, physicians are not considered among the truly highly paid here since there are so many who make so much more. It was a whole different story in the Midwest where I used to live where doctors were treated as Gods and considered the top of the salary heap with very few exceptions.

Okay then in NYC
Another question: what do cardiologists really do? Salary in NYC? Are they surgeons or internal medicine doctor?
I really don’t know about this because I want to become a lawyer but I am considering internal medicine, what’s the highest paid specialty in internal medicine?(NYC)
