So the answer to being overworked in a hospital is to quit, be overwhelming running your own business for half the pay?

That doesn't make any sense. And not everyone has the capital or capacity to make their own business

Let's not pretend we're talking about the difference between $30k and $60k/yr here. We're talking about $400k vs. $800k. "I'll only make half a million dollars a year if I do this" does not set oneself up to be a sympathetic character.
In what world is your typical surgeon paid $800k/yr?
In the US a lot of surgeons make this much or more.
