My uncle who was an anesthesiologist (sp) paid $100,000 annually for malpractice insurance 25 years ago. I don’t know if that was average at the time because he was in a burn center and his patience were high risk and were put under more than often than “normal.”
“anesthesiologist (sp)”
Usually when people question their spelling they’ve spelled it wrong. You got it right though, good job! :)
You folks are paying twice the necessary cost of health insurance in order to pay the doctors insurance bills.
What a waste of money.
You are all just paying the lawyers.
We, in Canada, OTOH, are paying 3 times the cost necessary in order to fund the unions.
Sigh.
We can live in a world without lawyers. Could we survive in a world without doctors?

According to the most recent survey I saw, anesthesiologists make $380,000 to $650,000 per year (depending on the type) AFTER expenses. I could live on it.
