General surgeon shortage

The primary care physician shortage has been well-documented.

Now general surgeons are becoming scarce, with medical students pursuing specialty surgery for increased income and a better lifestyle.

I can see this eventually happening to medical specialties. For instance, there may soon be a general cardiologist shortage as more sub-specialize into interventional cardiology or electrophysiology.

Again, no surprise when you consider the incentives.
