A Doctor professional( a postgraduate) in any part of our country at least of the at least earns 80,000 rs to 2 Lac, this is what I believe .
During my internship in government medical college I have came across the 2 pediatrician who are in thier 60+ 55+ ages ( talking about the money thing with SRs in free time in between duties)
One doctor does only opd n nicu and makes around 12+ Lacs per month
And another doctor does nicu,picu, opd n also does the all emergency calls from nursing homes makes around 20-25 L per month
( he didn’t had to money to establish nicu n picu in his early practice about 25 yrs ago )
Believe me this two above doctors are super famous in that 3 tier city, they write each everything in case sheet ( even we interns n final year students won’t take history that much detailed, I was shocked after seeing thier case summary in our government hospital wards after parents got discharge against medical advice from those hospitals ) they both pickup the diagnosis in seconds to minutes and treats with heart, even kids won’t cry in their hand( kind of magic). Kids do love them. Soo ultimately parents go there only. This has developed over a period of time . Not just after their 3 yrs of post graduation.
I have never visited the any private corporate hospital in my life till recently I got a chance to see a big corporate hospital in bangalore
As soon I went inside, it was soo clean( cleaner than my home) n organised , with full of air conditioner inside, mirrors inside the lifts a cafe inside with clean sofas n chairs and full of properly dressed receptionists with beautiful smile on their face.
And It happened to meet a medical gastroenterologist ( 35 yrs old) ,he makes around 4.5 L per month and he also told that his seniors ( 55+ yrs) make 10+ Lacs per month in the same hospital.
The doctor I met is becoming famous in that locality now and he communication skills are soo good.
N
Now I am doing 1 yr rural service post mbbs bond in karnataka
I came across two other stories
One person is a orthopedic surgeon (58yrs)he makes more than 30+ L
And other obg male surgeon makes 22+L
This above two surgeons work almost everyday without taking any break n they goes to multiple hospitals n taluka places also and their success rate of surgery are higher than anyone around in this two tier city.
What about the pg coaching institutions? Everyone can’t be a teacher, at any point of the time students will be having good n bad review about the faculties of any coaching Institutes
One faculty may be favorite for you but the same faculty teachings cannot be understand by your friend or sometimes u both may like him / her or u both dont like their teaching methods
Sooo depends on teacher, his knowledge, his way of making things easy for students, his language, his body style, his notes success rate, his questions framed quality, his hard work in his post graduation ,previous questions solving and ability to guess the future questions or topics , simple notes given by him soo that revision will be easy.
Sometimes everything is unpredictable with coaching notes same like the icu patients but the basics always will be with you
Vice versa students mental ability, understanding capacity, hardwork, studious behavior.
Soo becoming a successful pg coaching tutor is far different than a good doctor
They are not same, and this field has very very selectivity towards teachers.
It’s better to choose what society needs from you than what you want to do in this field.
Money money money, to earn money sky is the limit no can stop you but by how??go and work 12-16 hrs a day with having 6 hrs sleep and other things do night duties, attach with multiple hospital hospitals, go n work in weekends obviously u will earn more.
For a doctor
If u have good knowledge, skills,exposure, experience, ethics, moreover hardworking then automatically money comes after your work
In kannada there is a saying ಸರಸ್ವತಿಯನ್ನು ನೀನು ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸು ,ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಿ ನೀನನ್ನ ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸುತ್ತಾಳೇ. ( if you follow the goddess of knowledge then the goddess of money will follow you)
Recently the definition of success have been changed from money to many more other things, spending a time with your mother or father, going out with friends, having a good mental peace n physical health, spending time with kids n wife, taking vacations n sometimes spending the time with yourself and treating your own soul. Having a good sleep without any calls n tension in mind n soo many other things
If covid waves didn’t teach you much lesson then nothing can.
Do this experiment
One day go to opd with the mind of money and see patients
One day go with mind of picking up the early diagnosis and better treatment to the patient.
The difference is self explainatory .
Every day is the new beginning n new learning opportunity, don’t limit yourself just to money.
Medical field is very big n long journey
All can’t become entrepreneurs
All can’t become ambani
All can’t become celebrity doctors
More than a positive mind set look for the potential n possibilities from you within to make the justice to the patients you see.
Competition is there is since so long n it will be there in neet ug, neet pg, neet ss n again establishing the hospital and again in surviving with colleages ,again in becoming the better doctor till end of your life .
Seniors doctors will stop practice after sometimes Junior doctors will add up more and more to the communities, the population is gonna increasing everyday
It’s a cycle
You will do the great job everyday but Don’t just think money.
