The problem are not doctors salaries, it is everybody elses. Double the salary of everybody else, to where it would have been if they hadn't been fooled into dropping unions.

Oh my. That's not how it works. Thats not how any of it works.
There are less people getting health services than there would be if it weren't a constraint field. Also, the total amount of money paid to doctors would be much higher if more doctors would join: it just would be a lower average.
The doctor community makes less money by contraining supply the same way a bagel shop makes less money if it doesnt satisfy its demand. This is absolutely basic microeconomics.
