The average pediatric surgeon makes about $110,000 a year. That is a lot of money for working families to have to do without. However, a pediatric surgeon working in a city with a hospital where they receive federal assistance can make as much as $350,000 a year.
This is an interesting statistic, because the median annual income for a medical resident is only $50,000. Because of this, the median physician salary in a hospital where there is no resident physician is almost $100,000. This is because the hospital pays for all of the residents’ tuition, as well as their room and board. Not a bad salary for a surgeon, but you get what you pay for.
Surgeon salaries are not a particularly high figure, but they are extremely high for a group of people whose main job is to save the lives of others. Most of the time they are actually more valuable than the lives they are saving. When it comes to saving the lives of others, just about everyone has saved other people’s lives at some point or other.
Pediatric surgeons are more valuable than most of the rest of us. They have more life experience, for one. They have more of a handle on what the kids are going through right now, for another. They are usually the first people you call when you have an emergency.
Well, not really. Actually, it’s much better than just having a nice little job. A pediatrician is actually a part-time doctor. He or she is a “nurse practitioner,” which means that they are a doctor who specializes in the care of kids. That is, they are the one who spends most of their day on-call, seeing children who have health issues that would be handled by a doctor, but who don’t have any other resources.
When a pediatrician sees a child, he or she makes an initial assessment based on the childs age, physical characteristics, medical history, allergies, etc. Then they do a physical exam.
Of course, the most basic way to make money as a pediatrician is to take on patients with less-than-ideal health. Those who are not as healthy as everyone else may need more in-depth exams. For example, a child who is on a special diet may need more specialized care.
We know that a pediatrician often has to find the cause and then treat it or diagnose it. However, what we don’t know is how much he or she is making. This is because there is no way to determine how much a pediatrician makes. This is because pediatricians are not paid by the hour. They are paid based on their own volume of practice.
The average pediatrician makes about $45,000 a year.
