Although doctors' fees vary in different regions, some hospitals have a rigid rule that no matter how much the operation costs, the attending doctor's commission for an operation is only 200 yuan.

Of course, most hospitals give the attending physician a proportional commission. The highest commission ratio for surgery is 7%. Anyone who performs an operation with a cost of 100,000 yuan can get a total of about 7,000 yuan. But these are not taken by the chief surgeon alone, but also by anesthetists, assistants, nurses and other staff.

Although the cost of the patient's surgery is very high, the attending doctor does not get much money. This high cost is largely due to the high price of current medical equipment. Nowadays, large hospitals are equipped with advanced medical equipment. Medical instruments can easily detect lesions on the human body, which is much more accurate than relying solely on a doctor’s subjective judgment.

Moreover, these devices, whether imported or domestically produced, often cost tens of millions, and this cost will be shared equally among the patients.

Extended information:

A deputy chief physician at a tertiary hospital in Beijing told reporters that his income consists of two parts: the legal income from the hospital is about more than 7,000 yuan, and the gray income is about 7,000 yuan. The income is generally between 2,000 and 4,000 yuan. Gray income includes red envelopes and equipment commissions. Most people don’t have red envelopes, only top experts have them.

In fact, the relatively low income of doctors has caused a series of adverse consequences: First, doctors’ work enthusiasm and efficiency have decreased, some people have left the doctor team and switched to pharmaceutical sales, and some grassroots and rural hospitals have become hollow. change. Secondly, a small number of doctors rely on "grey income", which increases the contradiction between doctors and patients.

In response to doctors’ questions about remuneration, Huang Jiefu said at the National Two Sessions that doctors and patients are two important aspects of medical reform, so that medical staff can be paid for their work and have their due status and status in society. Dignity is a top priority in the reform of the medical service payment system.
