MD's work on the widget principal.
The more widgets you can pump thru the door, the more money they can make. Why do you thing MD's don't spend much time with patients any more? Slows down the widgets.

Question. How many would go into medicine if they were caped at...say...$150,000/yr.
Darn few I guess.

YMMV
