In some countries, such as the UK, doctors are generally salaried employees.
This is not true. A GP practice is a private partnership like a legal chambers which bills the NHS for its services. This fact is strangely overlooked by people angry about “privatising the NHS”, it’s always been this way.
That doesn't line up. In some countries, such as the UK, doctors are generally salaried employees.
With that said, I don't think the same is true of UK dentists.
