    The only doctors who are 1%ers are the ones who finished med school 30+ years ago, and managed to start their own practice before hospital systems started buying up and consolidating everything. Anyone who got their start more recently is much more likely to be working for one of these consolidated practices, with zero ownership and an insane schedule. Considering the cost in both time and money for me school, a family medicine doctor will be in about the same place net-worth wise as a high level tech worker. Still good money but far from 1% territory.
