Some doctors are, especially ones that get sponsoring by medical equipment firms. The top cardiologists in the country are always asked to try new procedures, caths, etc. They're also paid as consultants, and the ones who actually develop stuff (the Jarvek guy who helped develop the artificial heart) is filthy rich, no doubt.
