What lung doctors make
Median
$236,000
Bottom tenth
$66,260
Survey cap
$239,200
The median on this survey line is $236,000 a year. There is no separate line for lung doctors, so the figure comes from Physicians, All Other, a catch-all for specialties the survey does not name. The top tenth is not published: the survey stops reporting above $239,200, so the real high end is unknown but higher. It also counts only employed doctors, and many are self-employed or partners in a practice.
