Who is paying the malpractice etc. insurance for these doctors? Those salaries may effectively be a lot lower.

These are h1b hired doctors, so almost certainly for a system laying their own malpractice.

Malpractice for a GP is around $7500/yr...
An OB/GYN or anesthesiologist is closer to $200k+

My local Southern US county pays it's first-year PCP's $120,000, is a MCOL-area.
Of course, there is a typical shortage of doctors prying for this coveted physicianhood /s

So clearly that is the lowest of the low, not sure why we are comparing the lowest rather than the averages to get a sense of pay.
Data on doctor salaries is very difficult to come by publicly, however H1B salaries indicate the average pay for H1B PCPs is $200k [0]. These are the lowest paid physicians. If you look at the data, many many physicians are making much more than that - with many specialities averaging $300k+. Generally H1B workers make less than comparable native-born (even though that's illegal) so we should view this as a lower-bound.
That puts hourly pay for average PCPs lower than the top SWEs, but comparing average with average or specialty with average and you're already quickly outpacing large majority of SWEs.
