Those top 5 have nothing to do with doctor salaries. The top 5 at any software company of 1000+ engineers to better than that.

It specifically surprised me because we're not a huge hospital in a particularly large market. We're a good hospital, but we're by no means renowned. If you want that, you drive a couple of hours north to a number of the best (inter)national facilities available.

tl;dr - I suspect that there are more doctors as a percentage of that workforce earning, say, 400-500k+ than there are software engineers doing the same.
