Although the process of deciphering the quipu system is still just beginning, scholars surmise (at least) that information is stored in cord color, cord length, knot type, knot location, and cord twist direction.
National Salary Statistics. According to a 2011 salary survey conducted by Medscape, general surgeons practicing in the United States earned an average of $265,000. About 19 percent of general surgeons reported annual incomes of less than $100,000, and 15 percent of general surgeons earned between $100,000 and $200,000.
Even the lowest 10th percentile of general surgeons receive a high annual income. Their salaries can be around $244,000 or $117 per hour. Many factors will determine the annual general surgeon salary. These are factors that determine the salaries for most medical physicians.our hourly rates assume a 40 hour work week for general surgeons, which is absolutely ludicrous. Most general surgeons work somewhere between 60 to 80 hours per week (or more), much of that spent on call at late hours. That âlife of luxuryâ comes at quite a price.
