Most of them do. Not much though, but I'd check with your program director.

it depends on a lot. are you working in a hospital or a private practice? what part of the country do you live in? how much experience do you have? what kind of education (beyond your certification) do you have?

Usually, by document, and that all depends on what type of documents you are typing out;ie...medical, legal, or corporate, then sometimes, the corporate are paid by hour....

Do I get paid for asking you? ;P

I've participated in health studies through Stanford University Hospital and they never ask me for money up front. In fact, you never should have to pay to participate in a study. It sounds like a scam to me. If I were you, I'd read the contract carefully. Note all the restrictions on how to get your money. Why would they ask for money up front if they were going to give it back to you, anyway?? I'd run in the other direction.

Medical school in the US is four years beyond college. The last two years have you getting practical clinical experience, cycling among different specialties such as surgery, ob/gyn, pediatrics, psychiatry, emergency medicine, etc. \n\nAfter medical school, pretty much all doctors go through some combination of internship/residency for about five years, depending on the program. During this time, you are working very hard, sometimes for 24 or 36-hour shifts while you are on call, and you are paid about US$30,000 year. \n\nAfter that, you're a regular old doctor, whose specialty might be General Practice, or you might choose another specialty.

Spelling would be a good place to start - don't want to give out any bad scrips! After that, here's the deal.\n\nEducation:\n          To become an Anesthesiologist requires many years of education. After four years in college to earn an undergraduate degree, the perspective anesthesiologist attends four years of medical school to earn an Doctor of Medicine degree. He/she must then complete another four years of training in an accredited Anesthesia Residency Program. The physician may then complete another one or two years in a subspecialty of anesthesia such as Obstetrical Anesthesia, Cardiac Anesthesia, Pediatric Anesthesia, or Pain Management.\n\nBoard Certification:\n          After completing the above training, many anesthesiologists become a "Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology" (D.A.B.A) or "Board Certified". To become "Board Certified" by the American Board of Anesthesiology, the anesthesiologist must complete a minimum of 12 years of study in accredited programs as noted above. He or she must then pass a rigorous written and oral exam. Only after the physician has successfully completed these education requirements and passed these difficult exams is he considered a "Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology".\n          Some anesthesiologists complete similar requirements to become certified in their subspecialty as well, such as Pain Management Certification. When an anesthesiologist completes his formal training, but has not completed the certification exam process, he or she is considered "Board Eligible".

Capitation is not a fixed fee. It is where you are capitated to.. For instance - Your Primary Dr. is captiated to Jefferson Hospital. Then, when you need an MRI or a CAT Scan or even an X-Ray you are forced to go to Jefferson Hospital - you have no other option.. Unless of course you changed your primary care Dr. Then wherever he is capitated to - so are you.

You are talking about $200,000+.  As someone else said more for more specialized surgery.  \n\nYet, also remember, the schooling that goes behind this.  College, Medical School, Residency, Fellowship (to specialize).  And with surgery, the residency program is typically longer.  While in residency and fellowship, the pay is relatively meager (considering the student loan debt you need to start paying back).

What do you mean ,get paid...where?

Yeah, lots of people work at Walgreens or whatever as interns while going to Pharmacy school.  I think that you can starting at the end of your 2nd year.  They make pretty good money doing that.  There are alot of people that work at Walgreens as techs before that, too.  It doesn't seem like they think it's that hard to do both, but it depends on how good you are at school.

It depends on the hospital, but typically an R1 or first year resident will make about $36,000 a year. This is a salaried position and it doens't matter how many hours you work, but as an average you will work roughly 70-80hrs a week your first year and around 50-60 your next 2-3 years depending on the program you're in.

It varies.  What specialty?  What subspecialty?  What region of the country?  How much do they work ? (part-time, full-time, or double that?) How much experience do they have?  How much ancillary staff do they have to pay?  What is their malpractice premium?\n\nFew doctors are in it for the money.  There are MUCH easier ways to get rich.

Hmm... that really depends upon your interests. I do, however, have a unique perspective on this subject because I started in engineering then switched careers to medicine, and I certainly don't regret my decision\n\nOn the issue of money, most doctors in the US are pretty wealthy. Wages do vary considerably between specialist fields but secondary care practioners make between $200,000 - $800,000 per year.   The highest paid retina surgeon makes $11 million a year. These numbers are usually played down by doctors and the government because it undermines the profession which has always had a reputation for being honourable.  But if you want to make enormous sums of money you are better of becoming an investment banker as they don't work as many hours and the sky is the limit.  They also start earning sooner.  Post Grad doctors might spend up to 120 hrs a week working if they training to become surgeons but will only get paid for a third of their time, the remaining 80hrs that week is free. Don't expect much during the residency either, the highest you will make is $40,000 a year; not a lot if you work over 100 hrs a week. But you will be making a difference to peoples lives and the time does pass very quickly. \n\nMedicine is characterised by tremendous highs and terrible lows! There is a huge amount to learn during medical school and your residency. Medicine is not a 9 to 5 job!\n\nIf you want a normal career than software engineering will be a better choice for you. The job doesn't pay as much but you are in a position to spend more time with your friends and family, which is a very important. Of course, there is much less stress associated with software engineering.

Depends on your field, but I'd find the easiest place you can, then do your residency somewhere else.

This is a dilemma that many hard working people find themselves in these days!! (not being able to afford proper, quality medical care  - that is)  I know that many community hospitals offer low cost medical care and quite often charge you what your income allows. To be able to qualify for these programs however, can be quite time consuming and you are often shuffled from department to department before you are even allowed to see a physician.  Isn't there some way that you can contact the physician who prescibed the Atenelol initially and explain the difficult position that you are in?  High blood pressure is nothing to take lightly as it often accompanies additional medical problems that should be attended to or monitored!  I wish you good luck and as I am writing this to you, I am shaking my head...Our medical programs neglect sooo many individuals that truly are in need!! It makes me sick (but not too sick-I can rarely afford medical attention either!).
