If you have an MD, a board certified specialty, and ten or twenty years of experience, and will still work for what the VA is paying, each VA hires their own physicians, IIRC.
Do you have any idea what good surgeons in your hometown make?
A good Chief of Orthopedics at a normal mid-sized hospital is probably in the $500K-$1M range.
The VA does not get the best docs, because their pay is significantly lower, hence the number of foreign born physicians working in the VA system.
