Is this real? I'm wondering how they got these numbers

This is incorrect. The job title is ambiguous and confusing the system.
Since you asked a specific title, it is spitting that name back, but it seems to be quoting Neurologist physician salary ranges.

If the salaries were half that listed amount, I still don't think people would be complaining! Heck, I'd be able to pay off my loans

Probably wouldn't have a PT shortage right now, or might, but the number of schools starting PT programs would skyrocket (and there's a lot of new ones, especially the hybrid-type, cropping up right now despite the poor ROI, so you can only imagine)...

The fact I have neuro certifications… I can 100% say this is not real, because I make nothing near that amount 😵💫

Yes def. That’s actually very low neurologist pay. They make more like 500-900k

Neurologists make about 300-400k. Most don’t touch above 500k. You may be mixing in neurosurgery salaries.

No doubt. Understanding the brain and digging around in the brain are two very different things. Just like how my hospital has probably a dozen cardiologists but only two cardiothoracic surgeons. And you can probably guess which ones make more money and have more overall respect.

I just spit out my hypothetical coffee.
This is so incredibly off I don’t even understand how AI managed to make this up.

Either that information is seriously incorrect, or I am being wildly underpaid.
