Because we have no choice if you wanna be a surgeon and save lives the government pays $250k/resident and you get to see 60k/yr of it for 5 years. It's literally a scam.
Truth nuke surgery residents work 100h/wk for 5 years

$66,712 divided by roughly 3,380 hours a year is about $20 an hour, before taxes and before the student loans keep growing in the background.

What did your hourly rate work out to in residency?
In training? My free live lecture series starts in January. Save your spot with the link in my bio.
That's the price you pay to be a surgeon. You get paid $9/hr for 5 years and then you're a general surgeon. It's how the residency system works in the US. You get paid $60k/yr and work 100 hrs a week.
