Hi, I am from Canada and I will be attending medschool in Iowa. I am a little worried about malpractice insurance cost. I was reading that in Florida, average premiums are $ 195,000, while the average salary is $ 270,000 for OBGYN. Does that mean Doctors only take home ~$ 70,000? This is all after countless sacrifices and 14 years of studying after highschool.
XRAYEYES
I am not a doctor but I work with doctors in a hospital and I never heard of any premiums costing that much. The hospital where I work pays and covers all malpractice insurance for its employees. doc's tend to get some extra on thier own but the costs are not that high. I dated a Doctor once for a short time about 5 years ago who was a ER doctor, and he brought home a little over $ 200,00. I think you should research that more before you get discourged over something you read. Talk to the college guidence counsler or even ask your own doc.
