Besides the low ranking of family medicine, the other humor in this list is that urology is #2 and is in my top 3 of wouldn't do if someone paid me a million dollars specialties (followed by radiology and anesthesia)

Pretty scary that both aerospace and nuclear medicine (whatever that is) are both ahead of FP.
I think you should go back to medical school.
