I believe that you may have misinterpreted the report when you wrote that “Urologists and cardiologists reported the biggest decline in income, with income in both of these specialties dropping by more than a third.” The only statement remotely close to this in the report is that a third of all Urologists responding indicated a drop in income in 2010 compared to 2009. That’s obviously a very different statement and itself would refute the reporter’s interpretation. (See chart from the study’s Urology section and accompanying not.) A similar chart and note in the study’s section on the Cardiologists’ survey results supports my assertion.
