In this brief monologue, the speaker—presumably a surgeon—explains that surgeons receive only 9% of the total fee charged for a surgical procedure. He emphasizes that despite bearing the full risk and providing the expertise, the majority (91%) of the revenue goes elsewhere. Using a knee replacement as an example, he states that his compensation is $1,500, which covers the pre‑operative visit, the surgery itself, and 90 days of post‑operative care, all bundled into that single payment.
