Ever wondered how much money doctors make in various specialties? Well, you're about to find out.

The online medical resource Medscape, which is owned by WebMD, just came out with its 2016 Physician Compensation Report, which features data from more than 19,200 doctors in 26 specialties. All the data is self-reported and based on information collected for Medscape's yearly survey.

The five highest-paid doctors, by specialty, were orthopedists, cardiologists (doctors who deal with heart issues), dermatologists (doctors who deal with skin issues), gastroenterologists (doctors who deal with stomach and intestinal issues), and radiologists (doctors who use things like X-rays and ultrasounds to diagnose or treat disease).

The five lowest-paid doctors were pediatricians (child physicians), endocrinologists (doctors who specialize in hormonal imbalances), family physicians, HIV and infectious-disease specialists, and allergists.

Take a look at the graphic below to see the average earnings for doctors from each specialty:

Doctors are making more overall, but a few are making less

Overall, all doctors made more on average this year than they did last year, according to the survey. Yet there were some exceptions. Compared with average salaries from last year, for example, allergists and pulmonologists (who specialize in lung conditions) saw their incomes dip by an average of 11% and 5%, respectively. Two other specialties saw no change: pathologists and plastic surgeons.

Interestingly, rheumatologists and internists (doctors who treat autoimmune conditions and chronic conditions, respectively) made significantly more money this year (their averages increased by a whopping 12%), while nephrologists and dermatologists saw increases of 11%.

Travis Singleton, senior vice president of national physician search firm Merritt Hawkins, told Medscape he thought one of the reasons internists are making more is simply because their demand is increasing as baby boomers reach retirement.

"Over 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, driving demand for internists, and their compensation, higher," Singleton said.

Two other factors that affect doctors' incomes: geography and gender

The three states with the highest earners this year were North Dakota ($348,000), New Hampshire ($322,000), and Nebraska ($317,000); the states with the lowest included Rhode Island ($224,000), the District of Columbia ($226,000), and Maryland ($231,000).

Women also earned significantly less than men overall. While male primary-care doctors made an average of $225,000, women with the same job title earned an average of $192,000. Male specialists made roughly $324,000; female specialists made about $242,000.

In last week's article, Malcolm Gladwell dissected and diagnosed American health care.

Throughout our interview, he tackled controversial topics from the Affordable Care Act and medical malpractice to the contrasting Canadian health care system and much more. I expected him to dive deep below the surface and provide new and intriguing perspectives. He didn't disappoint.

But it was his closing comment that caught me off guard. When I asked Gladwell what topics he thought I should cover in future Forbes blogs, he said, "Help people understand what it is really like to be a physician."

I did not see that coming. I figured he'd request an expose on Big Pharma, an in-depth examination of various medical conditions or a portrait of preventive care. But explaining what it's really like to be doctor is a much more personal request and, as it turned out, much more challenging.
The Duality Of Being A Doctor
Most physicians go into medicine with a mission-driven spirit, committed to helping people. They are grateful for the opportunity to care for others, proud of their ability to diagnosis and treat, and inspired by the trust their patients put in them.

But those experiences contrast vividly with the economic side of being a physician. Each day, mundane financial tasks distance doctors from the reasons they chose medicine as a career in the first place.

That's the duality of being a doctor. There's the fulfilling personal side and the frustrating impersonal side. The personal side reminds doctors why they love practicing medicine. The impersonal side poses a significant threat to the future of medicine. Let me begin by explaining the personal side.
Awe and Terror: The Clinic Side Of Practicing Medicine
For academically outstanding students with a desire to improve the lives of others, becoming a physician is a great career choice. They work hard in their training to master both the science and art of modern clinical practice.

This hardworking and altruistic spirit is necessary for aspiring doctors to endure the physically, emotionally and financially taxing aspects of medical school and residency training. And that's where future physicians experience both awe and humility as they navigate the complex journey of becoming a doctor.

They spend their days exploring the mysteries of the human body. They learn to decipher medical secrets by looking into the eye, listening to the heart and palpating the abdominal organs. They gain the competence and confidence needed to cut open a body with a scalpel, insert scopes into the different orifices and cavities, and remove damaged tissue to eradicate disease and restore health.

Out of context, these practices would constitute assault and battery. In medicine, these activities are essential. Being entrusted to perform them is a privilege afforded only to those who earn the title of "doctor." It is an awesome responsibility.

Physicians are permitted and often required to ask deeply personal questions. Patients answer willingly. The intense and intimate nature of the doctor-patient relationship represents a unique bond, a trust forged in just a matter of minutes during a standard clinical encounter.

The majesty of the human body, the importance of health, and the personal fulfillment that comes from healing define the physician's world and the clinical practice of medicine.

But along with the awe and pride comes an underlying terror.

As physicians treat patients, they are afraid of making a mistake or harming someone. Physicians worry about missing a life-threatening diagnosis, unintentionally spreading infection or committing a technical error. This fear isn't just the self-protective paranoia of being sued for malpractice. It stems from a profound anxiety of violating the deeply embedded, core principle of the profession: Primum non nocere or "first, do no harm."

Most nights, physicians go to sleep fulfilled and grateful for the honor of becoming a part of their patients' lives. And overall, the opportunity to make a difference is fulfilling and satisfying.

But when something goes wrong, the agony runs deep. There are sleepless nights filled with tossing, turning and painful reflection.
Claims and Pains: The Clerical Side Of Practicing Medicine
As fulfilling as patient care is, most doctors (particularly those in individual and small practices) lament the other side of the job: the business of health care.

As much as half of each day can be consumed with clerical and administrative tasks: completing insurance claims forms, navigating complex coding requirements, and negotiating with insurance companies over prior approvals and payment rates. And this affects not only physicians, but also their patients - further complicating medical practice and increasing the level of frustration.

In my conversation with Gladwell, he spoke about a doctor's office he'd recently visited. He described interacting with four support staff: three doing paperwork and only one assisting the physician with medical care.

"That's insane," he said. "The only other industry in America that has a higher ratio of back-office to front-office is financial services, which also is a massively crazy business. It's just wrong. It's a misuse of resources."

He also expressed concerns about the economics of medical practice and the consequences for physicians:

"I don't understand, given the constraints physicians have in doing their job and the paperwork demanded of them, why people want to be physicians. I think we've made it very, very difficult for them to perform their job. I think that's a shame. My principal concern is the amount of time and attention spent worrying about the business side. You don't train someone for all of those years of medical school and residency, particularly people who want to help others optimize their physical and psychological health, and then have them run a claims-processing operation for insurance companies."

It's this side of medical practice that wears down even the best physicians.

Yet it's the reality for many American doctors, particularly those in small offices, who are reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis. Filling out claims forms and managing thousands of billing codes are frustrating and exhausting tasks. No wonder multiple surveys over the past two decades show a progressive decline in doctor satisfaction among those in community practices.

It's not the long hours or the demands of patient care that have eroded their satisfaction. It's the insurance side of health care.

And in 2012, a study found that 9 out of 10 physicians across the country are unwilling to recommend the profession to others.
Where Does That Leave The Future Of Medical Practice?
The life of a practicing physician can be incredibly rewarding. Making challenging diagnoses, helping patients deal with and overcome devastating illness and comforting families after the loss of a loved one - these are powerful emotional experiences. Across history, they have provided physicians with a profound sense of fulfillment.

But the insurance system can erode the professional and personal satisfaction of even the most dedicated physicians. That's why it has to change.

The solution is not a government-run program with the inevitable red tape and endless regulations. This will only make matters worse. Instead, improving the situation will require a systematic shift - one that moves away from doctors being paid for volume to one that rewards value in a predictable, prepaid way.

It will require helping doctors transition their practices from individual and small office settings to working in integrated, physician-led medical groups. The organizations that have done this have seen higher quality outcomes and increased physician satisfaction.
Malcolm Gladwell: A Much-Needed Catalyst For Change
I left Gladwell's New York residence hoping that he would apply his powerful and paradigm-shifting insights to the health care world. I'm optimistic he can help create a new language and lens through which our nation can discuss the health care challenges we face.

If he decides to write a book about American health care, I predict the opening chapters of his book will contrast the past five millennia of clinical practice (ones filled with dedication, commitment and fulfillment) against the harsh reality and financial challenges the profession faces today. And maybe, just maybe, his words will serve as a catalyst for system-wide change. Let's hope so.

What It’s Truly Like to Be a Fashion Model (Published 2017)

The word "model" evokes a life of glamour: lounging by pools, eating celery sticks and shopping for size zero dresses.

In reality, most models spend their days schlepping to casting after casting, usually being rejected from each one. They live in model apartments with three other girls, and celery is for dinner only because they can't afford much else.

How do I know? I'm a model myself.

My life falls somewhere between the glamour and the hardship. I've supported myself in New York City for eight years. I've been fortunate to be able to turn my modeling into a career, and even become financially stable along the way.
How I Got My Start
I grew up in Toronto, Canada, where I started trying to get an agency to represent me at age 15. When you're tall and thin, people constantly suggest that you should be a model; my dad raised me, and because he had been a male model before starting his career in sales, he was supportive. It wasn't until I entered college that an agency finally expressed interest.

Ford Models signed me when I was just starting school, at age 18. My dad couldn't afford to pay for my education, so I took out student loans (college is cheaper in Canada, so I paid them off before I graduated). In the meantime, I booked some local catalog work in Toronto and finished an undergraduate marketing degree while bartending and holding a retail job to make ends meet.

In the beginning, my fledging career was actually costing me money. Sometimes the gas to drive to castings and the parking while I was in the city ate up the little money I brought home from jobs. Modeling in Toronto just isn't the same as modeling in New York ... so after graduation, I moved to New York.
The Reality of Modeling in New York City
As soon as I got to the city, I booked the cover of Women's Health Magazine (left), and I was beyond thrilled. In addition to the great exposure, you would think that a cover pays a ton of money, right? Well, I was paid a whopping $250. I figured big money jobs would come rolling in, but they are few and far between, and the day rate (your entire pay) for magazine work is usually about $100-$400.

Runway shows are even worse. Sometimes girls are paid with "trade," which means they get some free clothes, but no money. It's not unheard of for girls with smaller agencies to not get paid for jobs at all. Models in need of cash can borrow money against their future earnings from their agency-and pay a high fee for the privilege. There is no such thing as a model union: Models are generally young and easy to take advantage of, and trust their agencies to get them work and pay them. Unfortunately, not all agencies are trustworthy.

Out of the blue, I was measured by my agency to see if I could be a "fit" model-a type of modeling that can be far more lucrative. Fit models have body measurements that match an industry standard for producing clothes, and if you're hired by a label to fit their line, you can work consistently with them for years. You act as a sort of live mannequin, trying on prototypes and getting paid upward of $250 an hour. Of course you pay your agency a commission, as well as taxes, but after gaining several clients, I was working every day for several hours a day and doing very well. With a 34″ bust, 27″ waist and 37″ hip, I am considered a very good industry size four.

So I was making steady money as a model, and working short days gave me the time to get another job. I still wanted to grow my income to gain a little more financial security in the very expensive city that never sleeps ... so I began cocktail waitressing at a popular nightclub and made upwards of $1,000 a night doing bottle service.

I was making more money working three nights a week than at any kind of entry-level job my degree could afford me. I happily settled into my role of the stereotypical New York model/waitress, making a combined income of a healthy six figures.
The Ins and Outs of My Finances
I've been able to build a comfortable savings account, begin maxing out my IRA and live a great life in New York (kind of like this woman). I can write off my gym membership and some of my beauty treatments like haircuts, facials and pedicures as work costs, because maintaining my body is crucial to my job. (I can't do it all the time, but still, what a perk!)

I've since quit waitressing because the hours (and people) were tough despite the good money. It's scary relying solely on a job where you have to stay the exact same measurements all the time, but it's pretty much my only job requirement. I'm a huge foodie living in a city with the best food in the world, so I've had to become a bit of a gym rat. I don't count calories, but I do try to make healthy eating choices and I work out five to six days a week. A good mix of spin, yoga and weight training keep me in check-and if a certain part of me (like my hip measurement) starts to get too big or small, I adjust my workouts accordingly. Getting pregnant or gaining weight could end my career. The industry is fickle and disloyal-I've lost clients I've worked with for years because a new designer said I was too big.

But I've been lucky that I've been able to achieve financial stability. At this point, I make more money than my dad and I love that I'm able to help him out financially.

I have so many friends in the industry who have no money because when you make money this easily, you don't value it as much-it's easy come, easy go. I know a lot of girls who have no savings and lots of debt: They get excited by the money, so they start buying expensive things, but then they lose their clients and freak out.

They're waitresses making $1,000 a night and they're all in debt! But the thing is, this $1,000 a night is temporary.
A Career With an Expiration Date
I know many women would dream of having my job-being able to live comfortably working a few hours a day trying on clothes, but the reality is that it is a pretty unfulfilling job with a definite expiration date, in which you gain very few transferrable skills. As I get older (I'm nearing 30), it gets harder to see myself in another career. What will I do when this slows down? I don't really have relevant experience for anything, and while I could switch to the design and production side of fashion, I'm not passionate about that.

Many girls can't transition into corporate culture after years of essentially working for themselves, so they go into jobs where they can be their own bosses, like teaching yoga or heading to beauty school. Most of the models I know don't have a college degree.

I graduated so long ago that I fear my degree is now outdated, and I haven't gained very much experience in the field since my college days. That, paired with the fact that I've never worked an office job in my life, would make it difficult for me to work a typical 9-5 schedule. When the fit job begins to wind down, I can see myself starting my own business, or applying myself in a field that I am a little more passionate about. I'm proud to be educated, but if I could go back, I definitely would have studied something that I enjoyed instead of pursuing a degree that I thought would lead to the biggest paycheck. Maybe then I wouldn't have gone into fashion to begin with!

Sometimes I wish I had graduated and taken an entry-level job at a company where I could have climbed the ladder and maybe even been a CEO by now. I would have a lot more job security and an impressive resume, but I wouldn't have been able to enjoy my 20's and live it up in NYC the way I have-and that's an experience I wouldn't trade for the world.
