ParticipantDr. Schanzlin earned $793,000 in 2008 from UCSD. He may well have had extra consulting income from drug companies, teaching off-campus, expert witness work, and more.
Physician incomes are outrageous compared to those of other professionals with similar education, ability, and working conditions. To be a regular UCSD professor (median income $100,000), you have to be in the top few % of PhDs nationwide. To be a UCSD physician, you have to be in the top 100% of your med school class and residency program.

Here we go again. What is the obsession with judging how obscene other people make. If this is such a sweet deal, foks with “similar education” are welcome to try to and being someone like Dr. Schanzlin. Personally, i think some union protected jobs are obscenely paid, because some of these jobs are really not specialized skills set either (not all, but some).

ParticipantJobs in medical specialties *are* effectively union-protected. The unions are the boards that define the residency quotas.
Opthalmologists should make a good income. But their income is paid by the rest of us, directly or indirectly. There is no good reason why we should pay them four times what we pay (for example) a pediatrician or ten times what we pay a veterinarian.
Many more people have or had the ability to be an opthalmic surgeon than to be a Nobel prize winner. But our society pays the opthalmic surgeon many times more. I’m not actually personally upset about this. Hey, maybe my spouse is a surgeon–you don’t know. I just think it is irrational and inefficient, and the more other people know about this, the more likely it is to change eventually.
