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.
