> There is absolutely no reason for a doctor to make over $1000 for a 15 minute conversation.

The doctor isn't making $4000/hour, although you might be getting billed for that.

That doctor (unless some exotic specialist) is probably making not too far from ~300K, so that's around 144/hr, or $36 for that 15 minute conversation.

All the rest is being siphoned off by the system.
