All current issues in the medical community stem from doctors' excessively high salaries

‌
Currently, doctors' salaries are as follows:
Aesthetic medicine specialists: 10 million KRW per month after tax
Essential medicine specialists: 20 million KRW per month after tax
Private practitioners: 40 million KRW per month after tax
This is why, when things go wrong in essential medicine, they immediately resign
to either open a clinic with minimal effort or move into aesthetic medicine.
How much money is 10 million KRW after tax right after graduating, without even becoming a specialist?
Aesthetic doctor: 5 million
Essential medicine specialist: 20 million
Private practitioner: 10 million
If you set it up like this, do you think residents would quit regardless of legal risks?
They would stick around no matter what, haha.
And honestly, if we are talking about legal risks, Plastic Surgery is by far the highest among all departments,
but have you ever seen a plastic surgery clinic close down due to legal risks? Everyone is fighting to open one.
And it is true that the more essential medicine departments do, the more they run a deficit.
Isn't it obvious when doctors' salaries are costing 20 million KRW per month?
The salaries that general practitioners take must decrease,
and eventually, even specialists' salaries must drop to around 10 million KRW per month
to resolve the deficits in essential medicine departments.
Then doctors will say they'd rather quit than receive 10 million KRW, right???
Doctors probably don't realize how much money 10 million KRW per month actually is.....
If you offer 10 million KRW a month, it's enough money for people to line up to do it, regardless of legal risks or heavy workloads.....
What happened to the residents who said they would quit and go farming if the numbers were increased during the Yoon Suk-yeol administration??
They quit, earned 10 million KRW a month doing aesthetic medicine, and once things quieted down, they all returned, haha.
