    Yes, US salaries always look misleadingly high without taking the insurance situation into account.

      US salaries don’t take the cost of education into account either. Most doctors are paying a hefty amount to student loans for decades on top of the malpractice insurance and other costs to practicing medicine.

      Plus the absolutely ridiculous work hours. I assume other countries also have long hours, but doubt they are to the same extent as US doctors.
