There are only 90 hospitals recorded for South Carolina, that you might wonder how they have that kind of employment rates. The reason could be because some doctors here would have preferred putting up their own clinics rather than working in hospitals. Their wages for family and general practitioners also do not disappoint, especially when you factor in how much they spend on a daily basis.
