But no the median national salary for a general doctor is around $140k-$160k
Certain specialists in their own practice can make $300-400k+. Most doctors who are employed by someone else are in the $80-150K range.
I seriously doubt a GP could make $450K with his own practice , unless he employs other physicians or PA's at which point he becomes a businessman and you have to consider his earnings as business, not personal income. And like all business owners he takes certain risks, mainly liaibility related.
