They run monthly Credit Checks and if they do not like your credit score, they will close your account. The 1 time credit check to open the credit card is not a one time thing. I paid on time and paid off my balances every single time. I lost my job and couldn't afford to pay my credit card off for 1 month.
A similar survey by the American Medical Group Association rated orthopedic spinal surgeons as the highest-paid of all physicians at a median income of $688,503 per year. Orthopedic joint replacement surgeons were second at $605,953 per year, ahead of neurosurgeons at $592,811.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the median doctor salary in the U.S. is $187,000. Thatâs an incredibly misleading figure. To assume that all doctors make about $187,000 a year leaves out the fact that most orthopedic surgeons make about $413,000 and cardiologists make around $350,000.
