Buckeye Surgeon: “You want part of my earnings? Then make sure we all pay the same malpractice premiums. Oh, and make sure that I get paid like an attending during my fourth and fifth years of residency and any additional years of fellowship I might pursue, to ensure my salary is equal to the family practice doc from the get-go. It’s all about equality, right? It would only be ‘fair’.”
