   Physician income declined in general, although the top-earning specialties   
   remained the same as in Medscape's 2011 survey. In 2012, radiologists and   
   orthopedic surgeons topped the list at $315,000, followed by cardiologists   
   ($314,000), anesthesiologists ($309,000), and urologists ($309,000).   
   Previously, radiologists and orthopedic surgeons led the pack, at a mean   
   income of $350,000 each, followed by anesthesiologists and cardiologists (both   
   at $325,000). The bottom-earning specialties in 2012's survey were pediatrics,   
   family medicine, and internal medicine.
