You are assuming that income is the only reason for surgery.
You do not believe "Skeptic" when he tells you that prostate
surgery pays him less than other treatments.


Skeptic stated that treating infections is less profitable, not
surgery.
In any case, surgeons make a heck of a lot of money.

No doubt. Urologists that do major cancer surgeries, such as
cystectomies,
prostatectomies, RPNLD's, etc. are less profitable to their practice than
surgeons who do smaller procedures, such as transurethral surgery, and
more
office based procedures. That is just a fact. The fact that that
infections and other postop problems can rare their ugly head adds to that
fact as well as provides additional headaches.


I've never met a physician who ever admitted that anything he did actually
made money.
