All doctors are not created equal. Ever see Elon Musk’s hairline when he was at PayPal? Look at it today. Whoever did the transplant was a doctor and he or she probably charged well in excess of 300k. The salary of a family practitioner is typically far less than a specialist such as a pulmonologist or an oncologist. In turn, those docs earn less than GOOD plastic surgeons.
This is a median and not an average so there’s less weighting towards the high earners. Still though, there are a lot of specializations in medicine and that’s where the big bucks comes in.
