Let's look at a report: Recently, Glassdoor (a rapidly developing job recruitment website) released a 20 17 list of high-paying jobs in the United States, in which the doctoral profession ranked first with an annual income of187.89 million US dollars. In addition, four of the top five occupations are related to the medical industry, namely medical manager, medical science liaison and pharmacist.

Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist of Glassdoor, said: "Skills, high education and jobs that cannot be replaced by automation are still the determinants of high salaries, which is why several positions in the technology and medical industries stand out."

We look at the high income of American doctors from several aspects.

The first is the income of American doctors: the number of attending doctors has at least quadrupled. Resident training in the United States takes a long time, and most of them take 6-8 years. Although it is a bit embarrassing to ask about salary, I sometimes have the cheek to ask American residents, "What's your monthly salary?" The general answer is "3000-4000, not high but enough to live." In fact, this income has exceeded the average income of the average American city. According to the previous investigation report, if you choose orthopedics, your income can be increased by 8 times, and if you choose pediatrics, it can only be increased by 4 times.

Second, 15% of doctors' income is insured to minimize the risk of disputes. In the United States, clinicians and anesthesiologists will buy their own medical insurance, and even nurses will buy it, because American nurses also take on many responsibilities. The cost of insurance generally accounts for 15% of total income. This figure may not be intuitive, but it is more intuitive to say the amount of insurance. The average doctor's insurance can cover about $6.5438+0 million in compensation, while the highest internal medicine may be cardiology, and they will buy about $6 million, while cardiac surgery and neurosurgery will even reach tens of millions of dollars. Although their income is high, they spend more on insurance.

American insurance, including compensation after medical accidents, has clear responsibilities. When an accident happens, the insurance company will come forward to handle and compensate.

At present, the doctor-patient relationship in China is so tense that doctors' income cannot be guaranteed. They can only support themselves by kickbacks. Over time, they naturally pursue profits, and some people even forget why they seek medical treatment. We should break this barrier, improve doctors' medical technical welfare, stop the income of kickbacks and commissions, and let more experienced and skilled doctors really win the affirmation and appreciation of patients with their medical skills.
