Some village doctors have slowly moved on to work in hospitals in towns or cities. There are also some village doctors who have begun to run hospitals in the city or town after the number of people in their villages has slowly dwindled. There are also some village doctors who are slowly switching careers because being a doctor doesn't make them much money. In China's vast rural areas, village doctors used to be very popular, but they slowly disappeared. About where did all these village doctors go? Here is my opinion:
One, they may have gone to work in hospitals in the town or the city
With the improvement of medical standards, a lot of people become more demanding of doctors when they go to see them. And with the increase in procedures for doctors to see patients and more standardization in their visits, village doctors as a group can no longer survive in areas where medical conditions are not good, such as villages. Many village doctors have gone to work in town or city hospitals.
They may also have been running hospitals in the city or town
With the aging of the population becoming more and more serious, there are fewer and fewer young people in many rural areas. Because running a hospital in a village doesn't make much money, these village doctors may have gone to the city or town to run a hospital in order to find another way to make a living. Cities and towns are still very populated, and they make more money in busier areas.
Three, there are also village doctors who have slowly changed careers
Many of the former village doctors were very outdated in terms of their medical skills, and they didn't have a lot of medical knowledge. For these village doctors who are not particularly proficient in medical skills, they will not be able to compete and may not be able to earn much money, whether they open another clinic in the city hospital or in the town. Such village doctors will, in general, slowly change careers, slowly stop being doctors and move on to other jobs.
