Does anyone here know the true difference?
I wouldn't act like this is ludicrous since money is everywhere, heck what you say might even be true...
HOWEVER.
Docs like Eid, Kramer etc. are considered the best in the world, and as you can see from these forums, they are pretty much working on word of mouth marketing. Do you really think (considering a doc looks at his practice purely as business) that these guys would take some short term $$$ instead of long term growth , fame for the success of their work and long term $$$?
And that is considering that they are businessmen, being the son of two surgeons myself, money is important of course, but it doesn't take priority over the case itself nor the humanitarian aspect of the medical field. If these guys didn't care for their patients and worked for their patients lives to be a success as much as they did, you wouldn't hear about them.
