hey doc. I am through the army to get my doctorate and just wanted to say thanks for the breakdowns you do. I plan on going in as an orthopedic specialist while I get my degree in biology before going through mpsp to get my orthopedic doctorate and get my residency done with. I chose this route as I am from a poor family plus healthcare and all.
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. Thank you very kindly. And thank you for your reply sir. I definitely will stay in touch. may be a few months but I am excited. Your videos really do help alot. they give in-depth looks into the feild from various perspectives and it has given me that final boost needed to make the decision.
@@highmedia2594 hasnt gone to plan had set backs still on the goal though. My dads health went down hill for a little while there and I had to help out.
I wanted to be a doctor so bad but when I saw the 20 to 30 hour shifts, student loan debt, years of study, business vs patient care where you need 15 minutes to see a patient and then next, it all made me change careers.
Well shifts aren’t a huge deal if you truly loved what you did. I worked under another oncologist as a shadow student for long shifts and being with the patients and on my feel for hours was worth it when I saw the patients. Although there is a time crunch between visiting patients not a detail is missed with the help of nurses and other staff. Giving care to patients and then dealing with the money is difficult because you want to help but there are many ways patients can pay off their bill. It just takes time and it’s difficult at times. I feet like all these obstacles would not really matter if you were truly passionate for medicine. I attended college in high school through gifted programs and even have $15K+ in scholarship money. It wasn’t easy, but getting a good career anywhere isn’t easy and won’t be handed to you 🤷🏻♀️
What is the general opinion from physicians in getting paid on the value of treatment rather than the fee-for-service method. Understandably it seems to target the waste of medical treatment, but how often does that interfere with 'necessary treatment' where physicians actually believe that it is necessary for the patient, but end up deterring treatment due to fear of possibly going over capitations from insurance contracts???
At Campbell’s clinic I believe we are “pracademic” the local medical school orthopod chief works there and so do the guys over the fellowships. All of the residents matched in Memphis go through Campbell’s. I see that every patient that has come In this far is insured so I think that has something to do with pay as well. Also, Campbell’s clinic is takes care of the local university and NBA team. It’s pretty cool.
Super interesting, I love how you explain things. (I’m a new subscriber so I apologize if you’ve talked about this) Do you ever travel for your work? What kind of medical jobs would require that? I think that would be an interesting video. Great job
THAT MEANS APPROX $50000+(5000$ IN 1 WEEK) A MONTH HAS 4 WEEKS , WHICH MEANS $5000*4=$20000 BY SEEING PATIENTS. WHEN BOTH GETS ADDED UP IT COMES $70000 A MONTH . NOW $70000*12=$840000 OF NET WORTH PER YEAR. IS IT TRUE??PLZ TELL DOCTOR.
3:10 $25 dollars for the cash pay rate to see an outpatient specialty doctor is extremely low and not accurate. Cash pay rates for consults with specialty doctors in an outpatient setting will typically go between $85-$130 dollars. Less for follow ups but you won't even see primary care doctors charging that low of rates for visits. Whether privately owned or incorporated. With the extremely high cost of medical supplies, staffing, and overhead, you would never be able to keep a clinic open with that low of rates for visits.
Also that's a similar amount of money that would go to the clinic per consult had the patient filed through their insurance as most do. Not trying to be a jerk because I LOVE your channel but just wanted to provide some knowledge.
Those "compensation packages" are certainly not consistent with my experience. I practiced one of those (sub)specialties for many years and earned 3-4X that much. Nonetheless, if I had it to do again, I probably would not.
Hello Dr. Webb, How often are doctors usually on call? I am in high school and want to become a Radiologist, and I was wondering how many hours one would work. Thanks
Bleech Boi It is very variable depending on practice and subspecialty. Many radiologists work 40 hrs/wk. Usually there are on call days which can bring it up to 50-60. Some radiologists just do night duty. There are jobs which enable radiologists to work from home. Overall the hours are fair with ample time off.
Hey but at least you can trust your doctors. If doctors salaries were lowered (you pay less) They wouldn’t be able to pay off a loan to a university, causing them to go to cheap universities or just get a different job. Then hospitals would begin do get desperate and start hiring almost anybody. So you might have some random guy off the streets that has 1 year of college to his name and a high school diploma. Said “doctor” mistreats your ailment due to a lack of experience and you end up in severe pain or even dead. And some people argue we should make university free. Well then the teachers their would get paid next to nothing causing them to go to cheap schools or no schools at all. The university in question gets desperate etc. And finally the arguement that the government should pay for medical bills, and healthcare is also false. Because in order to pay for that the government would have to raise taxes on hard working people that never went to college (plumbers, mechanics & other manual labor workers) and that wouldn’t be fair to them. So for better or for better or for worse we should pay doctors large portions of money because after all no one can put a price on your health.
Dr. Webb how do you feel about the book "Distracted" by Dr. Hahn. I'm starting medical school this fall and partially own a scribe company working in an Emergency Department and all the primary care physicians ive talked to about it seem to in some way agree. If you've read or heard of it I'd like to hear your opinon as a specialist on current medical billing methods, hospital admins policies, and gov't regulations that will possibly affect your future practice. I'm an aspiring orthopedic surgeon as well. Love your content, you're my favorite doctuber ! 👌
It definitely is possible. It all depends on location, and how hard you work. A GP in rural North Dakota will easily be making upwards of $350,000, compared to a GP in Boston who probably makes ~$200,000. You get higher compensation from the insurance companies because of the rural location as well as the fact that you will easily be working longer hours (~70-80 hour work weeks) due to the lack of doctors in the area. It is possible, but only realistic for a handful of people.
Feels like doctors get paid to do nothing to be honest. I have to wait 3 + months to get in and see a doctor, miss work that day see the doctor for a total of three to six minutes all for what.
Sculpin it's not their fault most of them work long hours, you don't get to see them that much because of the lack of doctors compared to the growing population
El Paso yeah but I still have to wait months to see a specialist, and at that see him/her for only a few minutes. That's not my fault but how you think I should feel towards them.

Can I get a update? How are you doing? I plan on doing the same but through the navy.

The Coffee Nut apply for scholarships?
and the other problems with medicine?
The Coffee Nut despite all that I still want to be a doctor to help people

Surely you’ve left out the connection between pharmaceutical companies and doctors out on purpose.

Hello Dr. Webb,

Bleech Boi
Student doctor forum
Answers a lot of questions
Eric Manso Thanks, I appreciate it.
Bleech Boi It is very variable depending on practice and subspecialty. Many radiologists work 40 hrs/wk. Usually there are on call days which can bring it up to 50-60. Some radiologists just do night duty. There are jobs which enable radiologists to work from home. Overall the hours are fair with ample time off.
TheBalls55 Thank you for the information.
To be honest the health system is not built on health. Its not a good idea for universities and doctors to work together.
Hey but at least you can trust your doctors.
If doctors salaries were lowered (you pay less)
They wouldn’t be able to pay off a loan to a university, causing them to go to cheap universities or just get a different job. Then hospitals would begin do get desperate and start hiring almost anybody. So you might have some random guy off the streets that has 1 year of college to his name and a high school diploma.

So for better or for better or for worse we should pay doctors large portions of money because after all no one can put a price on your health.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!👍
Moon lighting!!!!!
How much do orthopedic surgeons make monthly after assuming taxes.
It varies by state, contract type, amount of surgeries done but average salary is 350-500k/year
So could it be 30 to 40 k a month
Awesome vid
I’m applying to med school now and wish I was black so badly. I come from immigrants but look very white. 2 generations back. So jealous
Saw a job announcement today. Orthopedic surgeon 2 years at $560,000 per year.
Good stuff!
Dr. Webb how do you feel about the book "Distracted" by Dr. Hahn.

Is it possible for a non surgeon to earn more than a surgeon? In any way possible?
It definitely is possible. It all depends on location, and how hard you work. A GP in rural North Dakota will easily be making upwards of $350,000, compared to a GP in Boston who probably makes ~$200,000.

Your numbers don’t add up man. I’m not seeing the point of this video

Sculpin it's not their fault most of them work long hours, you don't get to see them that much because of the lack of doctors compared to the growing population
Are you from the US? That seems like a problem in universal coverage based countries.
Jake Breimann no I am not
Jake Breimann u r sooo wrong
El Paso yeah but I still have to wait months to see a specialist, and at that see him/her for only a few minutes. That's not my fault but how you think I should feel towards them.
