With the absurd salaries these guys get paid for what they do any complaint always sounds crazy. My wife who is a physician loses her mind when she hears a guy deserves to get paid 40 million a year, while she works 60-80 hours a week and makes less than NFL league minimum.

They are not absurd when you look at the amount of revenue being produced by their product. Their talent also has an active span that averages 4-5 years.
Doctors are valuable and do good work, but to equate the two is what is absurd. Your wife is getting paid less than previous physicians as revenues are decreasing due to government controls on healthcare. Also, Elite Doctors in their field make way more than a standard physician, just like elite football players make way more than Arena football players. If her skills allowed her to be an elite Doctor in a specialty field, an elite athlete or movie star, then she could make large dollars based on revenues as well. This is how it works.
