>> to become a radiologist so probably pays a decent amount in taxes now.

Specialist doctors are one of those jobs that is on the cusp of tax planning/avoidance technology. Once you are touching 1mil per year you have enough money to engage proper tax professionals to take care of your money. In the US they will run their practice as a business rather be any sort of employee. Offshore trusts, spendthrifts, deferals ... I wouldn't assume that every doctor suffers a huge tax bill each year.

Do you seriously think that doctors get 1mil per year anywhere outside of the US?

In Australia it’s not uncommon but that’s also exceptional.

Doing some quick googling tells me that the median radiologist wage is at about 1 million NOK a year, which is 103k EUR/ 111k USD. This will be taxted at about 31,3% without any deductions. The median wage in Norway was 635 000 NOK in 2021.
