In this regard, we believe that China's doctors do not earn high incomes, and even the medical industry is not ranked in the top ten of the highest-paying industries. However, the hospitals are now "supporting doctors with medicines" is a serious problem, but also caused a serious doctor-patient moutain, I hope that in the future the doctor's income is linked to their own ability. In this way, doctors can get high salaries with excellent medical technology, and the doctor-patient moutain shield will be eased. So, China's physician income is actually considered high? Why do many doctors say their paychecks are too low?
First, the upfront investment in training a doctor is too great. It takes at least 8 years to be a doctor, and there is no income for such a long period of time, and I'm afraid it won't last that long if your family is not well off and you need to support your family. Imagine, in other industries, it takes two or three years to graduate, but in the medical profession, it takes more than eight years. Other people only graduate from university in their 20s, while those who study medicine have to be in their 30s after graduating with a master's degree or a doctorate. Obviously, it's not too much to ask for a doctor to be paid a relatively high salary for a college student who just graduated with just over 3,000 internships, compared to a master's degree in medicine who has studied for more than a decade.
Second, from the point of view of substitutability, the domestic doctors take the salary income is not very high. Many jobs in society are replaceable, and if you don't want to do it, someone else can do it, so the wages for such jobs are generally not very high. For example, supermarket cashiers, restaurant waiters and so on. And doctors in a certain field of research for many years, has a wealth of clinical experience, such a doctor of all hospitals to grab grab over, itself has irreplaceable.
Thirdly, the doctor's work intensity is greater, overtime is the norm, and family reunion time is not much, and there is very little private time. Some people have a hard time resting at home on New Year's holidays, as long as a call from the hospital, they have to go to save lives. Moreover, nowadays, doctors and patients Maodun also big, doctors also need to have a strong ability to resist pressure. Do you think it's too much to ask that a person who does nothing all day long in an organization or institution get 5,000 yuan per month, while a doctor who works hard all day long gets 6,500 yuan per month? I don't think it's excessive at all.
Fourth, the report on the average salary of Chinese physicians only tells us that the average income of physicians is 6500 yuan/month. And a physician who can get 6500 RMB/month should at least work for more than ten years and have rich clinical experience. I am afraid that the average young physician who just graduated from school usually earns only $4,000 or so. So if you just look at the average salary of physicians in China, you would think that physicians' income is not too bad, but you have to realize that usually more than 60% of physicians don't get such a high average income.
Fifth, in Europe and the United States, physicians have a high social status and are respected. So, the annual income of a medical practitioner is around $250,000, while the average American earns between $50,000 and $60,000 a year. Obviously, the income of physicians is several times higher than that of ordinary wage earners. In Europe and the United States doctors are considered a high-income group. In China, physicians' income is slightly higher than the average social wage and does not enter the top 10 industries in terms of social pay. Instead, actors in the entertainment industry are earning record-breaking incomes.
In the country, many people feel that the doctor's salary pay is very high, which is mainly because the doctor's work is stable, and income is slightly higher than the average person. But in fact, the physician industry is relatively special, no matter from the perspective of pre-investment, work intensity, replaceability and so on, the income level of Chinese physicians is not high. And this average salary of physicians is only a few doctors can get, most doctors' income is not up to the level of 6500 yuan / month. Physicians this career, for ordinary people is actually nothing to envy.
