This. Derm in a big city like Chicago is second only to plastics in LA in terms of desirability in his profession.
He can see tons of patients, prescribe expensive medications (or inexpensive, doesn't matter because of sheer volume), perform expensive procedures, etc etc and not have to spend too much time with pts.
Derm is $$$$. That's why it's extremely hard to get into.
