The healthcare industry is one of the most profitable in the world—but here’s the shocking truth: the ones delivering the care, like doctors and nurses, are at the bottom of the food chain. Let me break it down for you guys here at MDS The Sharks and Whales of Healthcare 🦈 🐋 The industry is dominated by insurance companies, pharmaceutical giants, and hospital administrators—the real sharks and whales who control the cash flow. These entities profit massively while leaving the people who deliver life-saving care to fight for scraps. How Much Does a Primary Care Doctor Earn for the Hospital System? • A single primary care provider (PCP) generates $2–$3 million annually for a hospital system through tests, treatments, specialist referrals, and follow-up visits. • However, the average take-home pay for a PCP is just $200,000–$250,000 per year. This means doctors are earning less than 10% of the revenue they generate. And it’s not just doctors—nurses, who are often overworked and undervalued, face the same systemic issues. Meanwhile, administrators and corporate executives take home millions in salaries and bonuses, all while dictating how care is delivered Understanding this early in your life in your career, will save you years of pain when you’re actually in the real world.
