    Note that payscale.com just measures salary; it doesn’t include other forms of compensation, taxation, cost of living, public services provided with that taxation, etc. So there are some additional modifiers.

      Yes, US salaries always look misleadingly high without taking the insurance situation into account.

        US salaries don’t take the cost of education into account either. Most doctors are paying a hefty amount to student loans for decades on top of the malpractice insurance and other costs to practicing medicine.

        Plus the absolutely ridiculous work hours. I assume other countries also have long hours, but doubt they are to the same extent as US doctors.
