  Note that payscale.com just measures salary; it doesn't include other forms of compensation, taxation, cost of living, public services provided with that taxation, etc. So there are some additional modifiers.

    Yes, US salaries always look misleadingly high without taking the insurance situation into account.

      US salaries don't take the cost of education into account either. Most doctors are paying a hefty amount to student loans for decades on top of the malpractice insurance and other costs to practicing medicine.

      Plus the absolutely ridiculous work hours. I assume other countries also have long hours, but doubt they are to the same extent as US doctors.

  That sort of data makes a lot more sense in a table:

  Country	GP (local/year)	GP (USD/year)	Surgeon (local/year)	Surgeon (USD/year)
  🇬🇧	64,922 GBP	81,152	72,465 GBP	90,581
  🇦🇺	134,272 AUD	85,934	220,000 AUD	140,800
  🇨🇦	147,395 CAD	109,072	184,000 CAD	136,160
  🇺🇸	127,451 USD		308,047 USD
