Now, the state supports doctors to work part-time to maximize their value.
In the eyes of many people, doctors are the elite of society and do decent jobs, so why should they go part-time?
In fact, domestic doctors also have the helplessness of domestic doctors, as we all know, in Europe and the United States, the income of doctors is very high, take the United States as an example, on April 12, 2024, Medscape released the salary changes of doctors in the United States in 2023: Medscape Physician Compensation Report 2024, which is based on a survey report of more than 7,000 doctors in 29 specialties.
According to a report just released by Medscape, the average annual salary of doctors in the United States in 2023 is $363,000, an increase of 3% from $352,000 in 2022. 58% of doctors have additional bonuses in addition to their annual salary. The average bonus for doctors in the United States is 45,000 yuan per year, so the average annual income of American doctors reaches more than 400,000 dollars.
As you can see, the average annual salary of doctors in the United States is 363,000 US dollars, which is almost more than 2.5 million yuan. Even if you reach the top of the pyramid, I'm afraid that the annual salary will not reach more than 2.5 million a year, right?
As a doctor in a tertiary hospital, my monthly salary and bonus add up to almost 12,000 yuan (before tax), a year, about 144,000, and a year-end bonus of almost 15,000 at the end of the year, calculated down, a year's income is nearly 160,000, and then look at the level, I have reached the deputy chief physician, 160,000 a year, is it much? It's not much to talk about at all.
To be honest, the pressure of life is very great now, I am a doctor, but also an ordinary person, I am also burdened with a mortgage, and I have to repay the money every month, in addition, the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea at home, as well as raising children, supporting the elderly, usually relatives, neighbors and colleagues have a happy event, to maintain human relations, this also has to have an expenditure, so calculated, all year round, there is really little spare money to save.
Although I am a doctor, to be honest, what I am most afraid of now is getting sick, I really can't afford to get sick, if I get really sick, 160,000 a year, what is this enough for?
Everyone knows that it is not easy to become a doctor, bachelor's, master's, doctorate, just study how many years, even so, can not necessarily become the top of the pyramid of doctors, the growth of doctors needs a long time to support, to pay enough effort and sweat, which ordinary people can not experience.
After so many years of hard work, the income obtained is even a lower middle level, how can the so-called social elite reflect the value of his labor?
In recent years, the call for doctors to improve their personal value has become more and more loud, so the state supports doctors to work part-time to maximize their value.
More doctors go to the Internet to work part-time, participate in online consultations, and obtain a part of the income, and some doctors are realized through Internet popular science creation, of course, there are also some Internet celebrity doctors who use self-media to sell goods to obtain income, but this has been expressly prohibited.
Think about it, if a doctor goes to be an Internet celebrity to sell goods, doesn't this make people laugh off their big teeth?
Even if it is still allowed to earn income through consultation and popular science creation, but now that various platforms are tightening their belts to get by, doctors are earning less and less in these aspects.
As far as I know, there are also doctors who work as doctors during the day and go to Didi or do takeout at night, in their words, as long as they don't break the law, as long as they can make money, they are not ashamed.
But to be honest, it is not easy to become a doctor, and what can reflect the value of doctors is more doctors who use their professional abilities to work part-time, however, in my opinion, although many Chinese doctors in the system want to jump out of the system, they choose to accept reality and wait and see, because they do not have the courage.
In China, hospitals within the system are the only ones that are dominant, and jumping out of the system and away from the platform means that they may lose everything, and the risk is too high.
Sometimes when I was confused, I also had such an idea, that is, as soon as I gritted my teeth, I jumped out of this system, as soon as I gritted my teeth, I took off my white coat and stopped doing it, even if I became an online car-hailing brother, the money I made was not necessarily less than that of being a doctor, and the pressure I was under was much less, after all, it was okay to drive a good car, unlike doctors who have to deal with life, and bear the pressure of life and death.
Of course, many people will ask me, is there no case of a part-time doctor abroad?
Of course, there are also yes, it is unimaginable that the annual salary of American doctors is so high, and 39% of American doctors still work part-time to make money. Among them, 6% have part-time jobs that are not related to medicine, and the other 33% are medical-related part-time jobs or work overtime to earn money.
