Some are going down, most are flat. All are working harder

Essentially in order to maintain income at current levels (which again does not keep pace with inflation) most are seeing more patients, doing more procedures, and working longer hours.

I have not had an increase in 6 years. I am seeing about 20% more patients per shift for the same amount of money as I made 6 years ago. My happiness, and patient satisfaction, has suffered greatly. Despite using all the "tricks" (sitting down, making direct eye contact, asking if there are unanswered questions) we all consistently score much lower on the "I feel like the doctor spent enough time with me" and "I felt like my needs were addressed" questions
