(speaking from US): The reality is we need more doctors. A lot more.There's no solution other than training a lot, lot, lot, lot more doctors.Their salaries need to be lower, training needs to be cheaper and faster, and we need a lot more of them.

It's low because there's no competition. MDs are like medieval guild: once you're in, you're set for life. Restrictive regulations are lobbied by MD associations, which limit competition.
An alternative hypothesis is that it's low because our most talented kids know they can make a ton more in finance and tech
