That’s fair, I hadn’t really adjusted for the recent COL problems. But I’m also thinking of specialities over family physicians, which seem to have already been screwed even years ago.
Yeah, it’s getting hard to find people willing to stay in family medicine. Specialists just end up earning so much more that it’s almost financially irresponsible to not do a fellowship if you can.
I will say that one of the good things about medicine no longer being super lucrative is that it’s no longer really attractive to people who are interested in the field just for the money. It’s a lot easier and more profitable to just get an MBA, or go into finance if you just want to make money.
Though that fact has created some of the worst people in the world imo… There’s a subset of physicians who end up deciding they hate patient care and end up going back to school for their MBA to become hospital administrators.
