In this brief video, the speaker—presumably a surgeon—explains that surgeons receive only 9% of the total cost of a surgical procedure. He emphasizes that despite bearing all the risk and providing the expertise, the majority (91%) of the revenue goes elsewhere. Using a knee replacement as an example, he notes that his total compensation is $1,500, which covers the pre‑operative visit, the surgery itself, and 90 days of post‑operative care, illustrating the limited share of revenue that surgeons actually receive.
