As a physician, you have to know everything about medicine, and if you don\u2019t, you can\u2019t be a good doctor. So, you have to do your homework. You have to know about the patient, the patient\u2019s history, the drugs, the diagnosis, the pathology, the radiology, the pathology, and the history and test results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not uncommon for doctors to make significantly more than a physician\u2019s salary. In fact, I\u2019ve been told by a lot of doctors on this site that when they\u2019re offered a salary that\u2019s significantly higher than what they\u2019re making now, they tend to take it. One such doctor, a physician pathologist, just told me that he was offered a salary that was several times more than what he was making as a physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an interesting example of the doctor with a salary that is significantly higher than what he makes. The doctor is a physician pathologist at a large academic medical center in the Midwest, and he gets paid $170,000 a year. The job pays him $140,000 a year plus housing, food, and expenses. He doesn\u2019t have a medical practice, but says he spends most of his time doing pathology reports at conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It goes without saying that a physician who is making 170,000 a year, even if he did spend most of his time doing pathology reports, would look very different than the typical doctor. A pathologist who is making just 140,000 a year could easily have the same salary as a physician in any given field, but would be vastly more well-compensated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Physician pathology is a specialty that gives an extra edge to physicians specializing in internal medicine and other clinical specialties. Physician pathology is not a full-time job, in fact it is usually just a part-time job that pays about the same as a regular full-time job. A physician who specializes in pathology and gets paid 300,000 would be a very different person than a physician who specializes in internal medicine, but still, I think being a pathologist is a very good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Physician pathology is one of the most sought-after careers in the medical field. It’s a rare field in which you can make a good salary and still have the time to spend with your family, but with a good pathologist you can have fun while doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That being said, it’s not a job that is especially appealing to someone who wants to work in general medicine. Physicians will generally have to have a lot of experience working in surgical specialties to be able to earn a good salary as a pathologist. This is not to say that surgeons are not good at pathology either, but surgeons may not have the same level of experience and education in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pathologists generally have to be a generalist and have the ability to work with a wide variety of pathologies. This is often the path to a good salary, but there is also the chance that you’ll have to work in an area that you don’t particularly like. This is a tough situation because in general medicine you are expected to have a lot of experience working with a few different pathologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pathologists typically work for hospitals or offices and are not typically the type of doctor who would be in the field of medicine. While they are generally more educated and experienced in the field, the pathologists that actually work in the hospital and office are more likely to have less experience and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a physician, you are expected to be smart and knowledgeable about a range of different diseases. And while they are not required to be a pathologist, they are expected to be knowledgeable about diseases that may be the reason for some of your doctor visits. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
