In foreign countries, doctors earn a lot of money and have a high status, but in China the situation is completely opposite. The first reason is that not ordinary people can afford medical treatment abroad, but here we have It is almost a state of "saving all sentient beings". Having said that, there have been several waves of discussions on Zhihu earlier about studying abroad, especially about going to the hospital. I still remember that at that time, one of the things that got everyone's attention was that many students expressed the problem that it was expensive to pay for medical treatment in a foreign country. Two examples are particularly fresh in my mind...

The first one is that when I just graduated and started working in the United States, I felt dizzy due to low blood sugar. I originally wanted to take a break. After a while, I just ate a candy and was suddenly taken to the hospital by my colleagues who often go out and go in together. As a result, a hypoglycemia caused medical expenses of 10,000 to 20,000 US dollars. Of course, there was more than that because they were so It comes with a "split bill". Excluding the part that the company has to pay for her, she personally still has a bill of more than 10,000 US dollars (approximately 68,000 yuan), so you can calculate a symptom of hypoglycemia. Just like this, she made more than 30,000 US dollars (approximately 200,000 RMB).

The second example is that because the international student couldn't afford to get sick, he was accidentally hit by a car while crossing the road. He got up as fast as "quick as lightning to cover his ears and steal the bell". He was fine, and then he expressed that he was really afraid of being dragged into the ambulance, because once the ambulance was dispatched, his parents' annual salary would be wiped out.

Through the above two examples, you will find that among humanitarian countries, they are indeed caring and very warm-hearted. However, in the face of the high consumption level of developed countries, for developing countries, For foreign students going abroad, not having foreign "social security" has become a matter of constant worry. Especially for families with average living conditions, the high cost of rescue and treatment is enough to make the whole family drink. It was windy for a while. Even if you have insurance like Example 1 and a company is willing to bear part of the cost, you still can't afford to get sick.

These are not so exaggerated in China, and it is said that people without social security can go to ordinary clinics to see a doctor and buy medicine, and for people with social security, serious illnesses can be found in tertiary hospitals. The best doctor who works for you can simply treat a child with a minor illness at a nearby clinic and get a small pill. Except for the reimbursable part, I don’t know how much it costs, especially even if you have the same disease as Example 1. , even if it is all paid for by yourself, it will not cost tens of thousands of yuan.

But it is undeniable that the problem of income is indeed due to the vast territory of our country and the sparse population. High-tech and medical talents are particularly precious. In addition, developed countries themselves are high-consumption countries. , so it seems to us that high income is normal. And here we have a lot of adults, a lot of people working in all walks of life, and doctors are still saving lives and helping the wounded without any regrets at the risk of being stabbed by some medical doctor at any time. I think this great professionalism cannot be Measured in terms of money. Of course, here I am also calling for more salaries for doctors, and at the same time, I am also calling for more safety protection for doctors.
