I’d love to see the stats on things like sick and accident benefits and the amount of people off on things like PTSD in private settings. Overtime ect…

It's not exactly the same, but I read something last week about a surgeon in Toronto that was poached by a hospital in Houston. His income in Canada was roughly $700,000, which is nothing to sneeze at. However, the hospital in the US was offering US$7mm (/~CA$10mm!) a year and a US$4mm signing bonus, all for spending about 25% less time in the OR and spending half the amount on housing, etc.
Regarding things like PTSD & overtime in private settings, I don't know about a medical practice, but anecdotally, there's a world of difference in the disposition of teachers that teach privately vs. the one's I know that teach in the public system and it surely comes down to work load, environment, and job related stress.
