Private doctors are working class, though. They sell their labor. If they don't go in to work and do doctor stuff they don't get paid. They don't have income from capital. I don't know why this is so hard for people. Having a lucrative profession doesn't make you a capitalist. Having a relatively large amount of cash doesn't make you a capitalist. The only thing that makes you a capitalist is having capital and deriving income from it.
Okay but there's a difference between being a doctor and owning a clinic. The clinic is real property. Owning property is what makes you bougie.
A surgeon renting space and having employees does not make them bougie. They still have to do butchery and sewing to make money, they're still workers.
People fixate on the prestige and relative financial comfort of the job title and lose track of the actual class relation. They do this all the time, and it's especially bad with doctors, lawyers, and athletes - high earning workers.

Yeah, when you employ labor to do work that makes you profit, you've left the working class.
Some private doctors are. Most have employees though.
