> By way of comparison, it is unusual for a doctor in the UK to earn even as much as $200k, and the average is around $100k.

$100k is about £71k. Starting salary for consultants in England is £82096.

Sure, but:

1. Not every doctor is a consultant. Specialists range £41k to £76k. GPs range £61k to £91k.

2. The salary bands are fairly narrow. Consultants may start at £82k, but they only go up to £111k.

When you include residents in the US pay the "average across all specialities" is way less than $300k.

> Specialists range £41k to £76k.

You've misunderstood what they said. They said "speciality doctors", not "specialist doctors". In England the trainee ranking is Foundation Years, Core Trainee, Speciality Trainee.
