- Sorry, I made a minor glitch. Actually two. Forgive me?
- The article appeared in November Scientific American. Lead articles
- usually deal with social issues in S.A..
- Also I noted the data appear to be from 1986. This being true,MDs must
- be reaping even bigger salaries by now.
- Second glitch.. the article mentions average salaries,which I presume
- includes everyone.
- This would be more appropriate since average people are the one who
- pay doctors bills.
