I have a relative who is an emergency room doctor. He earns $400 per hour. No wonder is costs so much.
But petty jealousy is a powerful force, so go right on believing they are overpaid. (And I would bet all I have that you DON'T really know what that doctor actually makes, since doctors generally have to pay their own expenses such as staff, malpractice insurance (often six figures), office space, equipment etc.) As far as I am concerned, doctors earn every penny they make.
