@Reyliee Nakakalungkot na sibrang underpaid yung mga medical professionals. Tapos magtataka yung iba kung bakit mostly nagiibang bansa. Mahirap kasi sa Philippines pag uunahin natin yung patriotismo mamamatay tayo sa gutom.
Med school is NOT for everybody. Becoming a doctor was my first choice. But after taking BS Med Tech at UST as my pre-med my perspective changed. Instead I migrated in the US in 1986, became a Clinical Lab Scientist, retire at 56, went back to the Philippines and open mg own business in 2015. I am now equally successful as my former classmates who proceeded to med school. I am glad i did not pursue my first love because as a businessman, i have more time and i make more money with less work.
The income of a general practitioner in the Philippines is P1,500 a day to P3,000 or 20 or 40 bucks per day. I call the doctor's job, lowest paying job and hard job. We are educated to serve humanity, that's why Filipino doctors go abroad and work as nurse in the US. It is not about money; but money is the most important reason why we studied in med. school, our parents invested a lot of money in the education as well as the medical books. After graduation, when our parents already old and sick and need of money; it's frustrating we can not help them back, because we are the lowest paid profession who finished more than 10 years of education.
Good to know and hopefully it has changed. For medical books suggest studying in the library before going home which I did. There were prirate copies of Taiwan printed medical txtbooks during our time. I relied heavily on library. Took board exam without going for review class since I could not afford the fees. Lucky to pass the ECFMG which I took at Araneta Coliseum at that time. Did not go for review class either. I barely passed the grade school and high school at thet time. Failed Biology in High school and needed to take summer class in UE High School in order to graduate. For unknown reason, I somehow thought Medicine was easy and went into Medicine. Take Medicine if you feel it is best for you and easy for you to study. Got stuck in USA since I was denied re-entry visa back to Philippines due to Taiwan visa. Spent my first 24 years there. I am a retired MD here in USA. Grew up in Tondo.
Journey is long. But it is fulfilling. You dont earn much unless and until you become a specialist. If you opt to be a general practitioner, dont expect to earn like a neurologist
i want to be a doctor but i also want to support my parents at the earliest point (gusto ko matulungan ko agad sila habang andyan pa sila..ayoko talaga sila pag-intayin T_T), theyre too old na and feeling ko ibang job/course nlng kukunin ko since ilang years pa bago maging doctor at gusto ko agad makakuha ng permanent job para masuportahan agad sila or mabigyan man lang sila ng magandang bahay..hayst T_T
Same. Kaya since highschool, Ive been a working student, but then the struggle is real on wether I will pursue medicine or just help them straight ahead.
I'm just a grade 11 student but I believe the whole point in wanting to go to medschool well aside from what others believe na *mayaman lahat ng mga doctor* talagang mas importante yung passion mo yung willing ka to sacrifice the following years in which you can actually enjoy kung ibang course lang yung kinuha mo the goal in choosing a course is to know and identify that passion which is most appropriate to you. Kasi kng iisipin kng pera lng ang habol doon ka sa course na mas alam mong kaya mo at mabibigay mo kng ano yung hinihingi sayo after all buhay mo yung nakasalalay dito at buhay ng ibang tao if your passion is to help other people you set aside that goal of being rich kasi for me the whole point of choosing med school is to change the life of others and ultimate change mine too. Haahaahah ps . I'm still considering med even though I felt like the cons outweight the pros either way I hope and I pray that I WILL BECOME A DOCTOR SOMEDAY 💖💖
Same, and I was about to comment this. We have the same goal and mindset, I am very passionate about pursuing medicine, even though as you said the cons outweigh the pros, I will still choose that path. The only thing that's going to stop me is financial support for medicine education.
Hi Doktaura, I am a Registered medtech, married and may isang baby girl. When I was young I wanted to become a doctor but when i had my pre med course and finished it I worked in a diagnostic laboratory lost interest in even pursuing medicine. My parents on the otherhand wants me to pursue Med. I have told them a lot of times that becoming a doctor will not give me money. I have to devote my whole life for it. I hope other parents should stop with the notion that doctors are rich and just give orders and sit around all day. I’m sick of hearing it. Thank you for giving straightfoward videos for everyone to understand. I will let my parents watch this to enlighten them. Keep making more videos! Stay safe! Doc!

Share ko lang: Kung pera ang isa sa big motivations niyo para maging doctor, either maging general practitioner kayo or mag specialize kayo sa internal med or OB. Then mag duty muna kayo sa NEARBY hospital/clinic, kahit mababa ang sweldo basta madaming patients. Ang goal niyo is makaipon ng loyal patients at word of mouth. Pag madami na kayong patients na willing kayo dayuhin, start your own personal clinic. Mababa ang 100k/month net kung may sarili kang clinic. Make sure to set up large signage at mag advertise kayo.
Saludo ako sa lahat ng dr. ang hirap hirap gumamot ng tao, tapos ganon sweldo nila. Kaya dapat tayong pasyente is maayos din tayo makitungo sa mga dr. hwag ma inipin lalo na if madami pasyente. Pasalamat tayo at matyaga sila at passion nila gumamot ng tao.
Hi ate I'm a 14 year old girl and I really want to become a physician in the near future and your vids are so inspiring and helpful, so it pushes me more to pursue my dreams ♥️thank you ate and also, I'm so proud of what you've been doing all throughout. God bless and more power 🙏
I really wanna be a pediatrician someday pero I'm scared, gladly I found this channel to inspire me to do my best to become a doctor... Thank you DoktAURA 💕
From engineering..nagshift na ako dito..im still praying what oremed course kukunin ko..since a kid a love science talaga..and seeing people recovering makes me so happy. I rather be brave and pursue what i really love kaysa sa engr ka nga..di ka naman satisfied sa ginagawa mo 😓 thanks doc sa mga videos..you inspire me moreee
You are so young and intelligent doctor. I liked your energetic and vibrant style and the way you talk you are so fluent in English. I really admired you Dra. Aura azarcon. May God always blessed you. You are an inspiration to many just I admired and followed you. It's my first time to be a viewer of your channel.
I actually don't mind not earning during internship or in my residency. Kasi sabi sa akin dati there are instances na you have to pay the hospi (idk if this is true po) for that. I was worried about kung saan kukuha ng pera. Thank you po for this video! Marami akong natutunan. God bless! 😊
@@melodykuromibebbies2138 di kailangan malungkot. May mga kamag anak ako sa US na nurse and PT, nakakainggit Ang buhay nila sa US kaya yng anak ko sabe ko kng ndi ka mag doctor, mag nurse ka then work abroad, sa America. Tapos ipetition nlang kami.
I think you can be a part time med student. Kasi i know someone from our institution stopped a year para maka pag ipon the bumalik the next year, meron din every other year nag stop (idk the reason, might be financial) Depende rin siguro sa school. It may take longer to graduate but hey u cant still finish med school... ❤✌
Psychiatry yung residency na gusto kong kunin. I know medschool is hard and expensive. Probinsyana ako. 😂 and sometimes I get discouraged. But I also keep in mind that napasa ko yung RPm board exams. I hope I can pass this one someday, too. 🌹❤
Hi po Doc Aura, request ko po sana gumawa po sana kayo ng video about sa psychologist. Ano ang pwedeng i-take at ilang taon ang bago maging ganap na psychologist doctor hihi, notice me po Doc Aura . Love you po♡
If you are passionate about working in the health field but also doing it for money, then it is much better to switch to dentistry instead, dentistry is only a 6 year program in the philippines and you can earn more money than most physicians depending on how you run your practice
Kung pera ang purpose bakit mo gusto maging doctor.. Mag isip2x ka nlng ng ibang path.. Marami ka dapat e consider bago ka pumasok sa medicine.. 1st is your willingness to help people specially yung mga walang pera,. Magkakapera ka naman din along the way bsta mag maintain kalang ng pamumuhay na average.. Maging contento kung meron man o wala... Kung passion mo talaga.Go lng... Hnd kaman magiging mayaman sa profession na pinili mo, atleast mamamatay kang naka ngiti at walang pinagsisisihan... Maraming bagay na hnd nakukuha ng pera ..
Wow we have it easy here. We get paid as med students on our final year of study (6th year), and we also get paid after that as house officers. Although our course fees can be quite expensive though (~17k NZD/year) but we have 0% interest student loans so it’s all good. 😳
I am grade 11 student now incoming grade 12 and I want to be a doctor to i always watch your videos po to inspire me and also to have a so much information. I have a question for you ate aura there's a possibility po ba na maging doctor ang isang kapos palad? Or should we say lack of financial po? Kasi I think If you want to be a doctor you need to invest a huge amount of money. Haysttt financial ang hadlang HAHA Btw. This account is not mine this is my Mother's account. Im introducing myself po if mabasa nyo I know masyadong matagal na tong video but i always watch po kasi your video this whole quarantine actually hindi lang po sayo madami pang iba like preparing for UPCAT etc. Btw. I am pau po a student that inspired by you po thankyouu❤
It is possible. DOH have partner schools all over the philippines and they cover a lot of expenses you may incur during med school :) go search it up! Magiging doktor rin tayo balang araw
In U.S. the Family Practitioners, Pediatricians, and Psychiatrist offered the lowest pay with the Base average of $189,000 a year. An Orthopedic Surgeons is the highest with a base average of $519,000 a year. The Top 5 are Ortho Surgeon ($519K), Cardiology ($512K), Urology ($461K), Gastroenterology ($433), Otolaryngology ($412K).... Bottom 5 are Emergency Med ($264K), Endocrinology ($248K), Hospitalist ($221K), Internal Med ($203K) , Psychiatry, Family Practice and Pediatrics ($189K)
It's hard to quantify / give similar values for Physicians in the Philippines though. I don't know of any reliable source cos it depends a lot on each physician's private practice mostly.
Hello, Rey Munar. Yun lang ang puedeng i pursue ng Filipino doctors sa US and sabi mong lowest paid specialties of Family Practitioners, Pediatricians, at Psychiatrist. Don't say it is lowest paid kasi kung makapasok ka sa residency training sa US which is difficult. I compare mo yang dollars sa peso, Ang salary po ng doctor sa Pinas ay mas mababa pa kesa sa pinakamababang trabaho sa America. Maloloka ka, nagluluto ng hamburger, may sueldong 10 dollars per hour, and doctor sa Pinas as general practitioner, kalahating araw na kayod na yan. Ang registered nurses sa US, 30 dollars an hour, sa Pinas ang sueldo ng doctor ay 20 to 40 dollars per day. O yan, mababa ang gastusin diyan sa Pinas, mas mataas dito sa US, pero pag naipadala na namin yung dollars namin sa Pinas, eh di mayaman na yung nasa Pinas.
Hard working student but have a low self-esteem which can lead me to think what will be the result or that I don’t deserve to be a doctor in the future. a lot of teachers have told me that I am hard working and also good at taking responsibilities. here’s the thing... no matter how hard working I am, I’m worried. I’m worried that after all the hardships my parents done for me especially if I take medicine I might end up failing. Is it worthy? Yes, it is. but how about the money they will spend? it might cost half a million just to persue my dreams. I don’t want to see them suffering and working hard just for me, just to persue my dreams, just to achieve it. Tbh, sometimes I think about the other’s dream. a flight attendant, an architecture or etc. like..is it much easier to persue it? without costing a half a million of money that my parents will work hard for? I actually don’t have a dream...but, in my second semester in my esp sub, A teacher asked us about our dream like those normal introduction to your new classmates. “What if I don’t have a dream po, ma’am?” I asked my teacher silently.. I already expect what she would say she’s like every other people out there “You don’t have a dream? that’s impossible” she answered me. it hurts... I thought she would comfort me saying it’s okay and think about something that interest me but, no. I just laughed when she asnwered with that ‘coz what can I do about it? cry? cry infront of her? NO.WAY. that’s how I think about what interest me the most. At first, I thought about being veterinarian then A flight attendant and turns out what interest me and what I love the most is learning new things about medicines. This is my story. next year I’ll be a second year high school student hihi. May I ask how did you deal with money in med school? I just don’t wanna make it too hard for my parents..
Gusto ko magdoktor kaso iniisip ko parents ko. 10-13 years kasi yung pagaaral. Edad 60+ na magulang ko bago ko maging isang ganap na doktor. Parang nakakahiya naman sa parents ko kung magaaral ako ng ganun katagal HAHAHA kaya nagdadalawang isip ako kung nursing nalang ba ko sa college
Omg, sobrang mura pala ng sahod ng dr sa pinas??while here in japan moonlighting night duty ang pinaka mura is 24-25k??tapos hindi pa er ang work nyan, nakatambay, naglalaro, naghihintay lang ng tawag sa drs room nila..tsk..
Iba naman ang standard of living sa Japan. Sobrang taas din. As in MATAAS. Even Europeans umaangal sa sobrang taas ng bilihin dyan even just for a small bottle of beer.
i am grade 11 student right now but i wanted to be a doctor I don't problem ABOUT THE SALARY of being a doctor the problem is how i will study medicine because studying medicine its super expensive ,,,
ouch saket naman neto.. first year medtech student ako at gusto ko talagang pumasok sa med school pero parang hindi talaga para sakin ang medicine. nakakaiyak! Gusto ko kasi talagang maging doctor pero ngayon pa nga lang nahihirapan na ang parents ko sa pag papaaral sakin, pano pa kaya pag magmed school ako😥 hayy buhay nga naman
Hey Aura...you are so brilliant! Just got done watching you and Baninay having fun with the "Hate Comments." That's what I like about you...you can be funny but at the same time you have that serious and professional side. I've always liked you ever since PBB. I just love your caring ways and your great attitude in general. Take care and God Bless!
Aura Azarcon. You are welcome! I'm a big fan of yours and I have been for awhile. I'm sure you will do well in this field. You are passionate and very dedicated. Thanks for replying! BTW I'm really surprised at those numbers you gave. I guess we are all under the impression (wrongly I might add) that all Doctors get paid really well. Well, maybe later in their careers. I'm sure you will get there someday. Especially if you consider maybe practicing in the U.S. Doctors here make a bundle. :-)
Just re-watched episode 136 of PBB, remember that episode? That's when you told Kuya tunkol sa pinagdaanan mo as you worked towards your goal of becoming a doctor. It really broke my heart, a second time, seeing the tears in your eyes as you told your story. That's when I knew that you were heading for something big. That you will succeed in your aspirations. That's also when you won me over and became your supporter. :-)
NO BODY BECOMES A MILLIONAIRE OR A BILLIONAIRE BY WORKING FOR OTHERS AND DEPENDING ON THEM, GOOD INVESTMENT BRING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND CONSISTENCY BRING BILLIONS, THE MARKET IS ALL ABOUT BTC AT THE MOMENT NOW...
15 ako gusto kong mag doctor kaso Pinag-aral ako ng magulang ko sa san beda dahil gusto nila ako maging lawyer 😭 mataas daw passing rate ng law sa san beda but I will move to UST to study medicine and become a future doctor
im experiment. i have a microchips inplanted in my head and earphone inplanted in my ears and microchips in my eyes. i feel electricity in my head and hear voices in my ears. is it normal doc?
heyyy have you heard about the senate bill no. 1250 that passed the 3rd reading na? its a medical scholarship, i'm not sure if it is called Doktor Para sa Bayan or something, you can search it to know more about it. If ever na maisabatas, you can apply for a scholarship. don't quit!! kaya 'yan!!
The government has a program for those aspiring doctors, but you have to work for the government for a certain period of time. In my case, my family cannot afford med school. So i decided to be a nurse and work abroad instead.
Gobyerno ang may kasalanan, hindi doctor Tere Santy. Kasi kung lahat ng Pilipino may health insurance at libre magpagamot sa government hospital like in Canada, di ito mangyayari sa Pinas. Walang pera ang resident doctor, yung may ari ng hospital yun ang may pera. Sila yung may policy na no money down, no treatment sa private hospital.
Medical doctors start earn huge money when they become specialist like an oncologist or plastic surgeon for examples. Like any other professionals, they do step up the ladder of success.
Hello Doc aura your video is very nice. 💕 im just a grade 10 student. I just want to suggest lang po next video is different types of doctors and what course you'll take if you are going to choose those courses? Thanks in advance love lots 💕
As a medical intern myself, di ka talaga kikita unless may license ka.. And to be frank YES may pera sa medicine. A General practitioner can earn a minimum of 4000 per 24hr duty. It could be higher if you were able to suture in the ER. You admitted patients. You do the medical abstracts. Another is to be a company doctor. You can earn as low as 3000 just by staying for 2hrs in a clinic. Kaya kung magaling ka talaga rumaket yayaman ka talaga without the specialization. Di pa kasama dun kung magciclinic ka pa. Professional fee ng general practitioner on average is 250-300pesos per patient. Pero syempre iba pa din pag specialista ka..
may pera pero hindi katumbas ng perang nilabas ng magulang for tuition o ng perang kikitain mo dapat pero hindi mo kinita dahil nag aral ka pa for additional 5 years after college. delayed gratification talaga :)
real DOCTOR for SAVING LIVES, YOU CAN ACTUALLY WRITE WHAT WAS YOU STUDYING alone not with out using guineapig at ER without any REFERALS practised and testing all the MEDICINE at patient that 500 pesos-2000 per psychology complain, DENTIST denture, referals side effects and machine while Pharmacy laboratory STUDYING all your case ADULTERY
The Filipina Doctors deserve to be paid more money each day for their hard work and intelligence. Looks like I'll be subsidizing them in the future. Its the humane thing to do. When the time comes- they will get construction services at a deep discount. I specialize in the following Services: Heating & Air- Conditioning- Master Plumbing Services- Electrical Services- Automotive Repair Services- and General Carpentry.
Done watching all of u'r vids DokAura💖✨ and it answers all my questions when it comes to medicine lalo na ngayon at Im grade 12 na and I have to choose my course for college. And I don't know if I'm going to take for medicine or architecture bcouz I loveee both of them😂😭😍 huhu. But anywayss I love yur vids po😉😘 Goodluck fr u'r career po and Godbless 😇
I just finished dental school, and im thingking to take med nmn or law, im leaning towards med na because of your videos, thank you for inspiring me to study again ❤️❤️❤️
Gusto ko pong maging doctor. I am a grade 10 student.. taking stem as strand.. tapos sa college siguro ay nursing then med school. I've got a long way to go. ❤️ but i love where and what i am putting myself into
I really hope that due to the pandemic, the government would be able to realize the importance of doctors and other medical professionals.
@Reyliee Nakakalungkot na sibrang underpaid yung mga medical professionals. Tapos magtataka yung iba kung bakit mostly nagiibang bansa. Mahirap kasi sa Philippines pag uunahin natin yung patriotismo mamamatay tayo sa gutom.
May bill na pinasa si Sen. Recto about studying Medicine for free. Sana ma approved yun
We don’t have a free market economy and our government is corrupt. Too bad.

Why medicine?
-not because its the highest paying job in the world but its known to be the HIGHEST PROFESSION of the universe 👌
The income of a general practitioner in the Philippines is P1,500 a day to P3,000 or 20 or 40 bucks per day. I call the doctor's job, lowest paying job and hard job.

this video is actually what i need ive been searching how much doctors earn a month
I really wanna be a pediatrician someday pero I'm scared, gladly I found this channel to inspire me to do my best to become a doctor... Thank you DoktAURA 💕
From engineering..nagshift na ako dito..im still praying what oremed course kukunin ko..since a kid a love science talaga..and seeing people recovering makes me so happy. I rather be brave and pursue what i really love kaysa sa engr ka nga..di ka naman satisfied sa ginagawa mo 😓 thanks doc sa mga videos..you inspire me moreee
Nurse kana? Ilang taon ka sa engineering bago mag shift sa nursing?
You are so young and intelligent doctor. I liked your energetic and vibrant style and the way you talk you are so fluent in English. I really admired you Dra. Aura azarcon. May God always blessed you. You are an inspiration to many just I admired and followed you. It's my first time to be a viewer of your channel.
Thanks Dra. Aura for inspiring thousands of Medical Students!
Beautiful inside/outside doctor ...miss Aura
imma go back here doc pag doctor na din ako! ang laking encouragement mo po sa'kin💙
Road to 100k😄😄 CONGRATS💖💖
thats why building your own clinic.. is much better very hard to do but probable.
Thank you Dr. Aura for always keeping us informed. 💖
I actually don't mind not earning during internship or in my residency. Kasi sabi sa akin dati there are instances na you have to pay the hospi (idk if this is true po) for that. I was worried about kung saan kukuha ng pera. Thank you po for this video! Marami akong natutunan. God bless! 😊
I'm a grade 11 student and I'm passionate about being a doctor but this reality is quite disappointing.
nalungkot ako nang slight hahaha
@@melodykuromibebbies2138 di kailangan malungkot. May mga kamag anak ako sa US na nurse and PT, nakakainggit Ang buhay nila sa US kaya yng anak ko sabe ko kng ndi ka mag doctor, mag nurse ka then work abroad, sa America. Tapos ipetition nlang kami.
THANKS DOC! WE LOVE YOU!!👍👍
Well said. Real talk with no hypocrisy 👍🏻
I think you can be a part time med student. Kasi i know someone from our institution stopped a year para maka pag ipon the bumalik the next year, meron din every other year nag stop (idk the reason, might be financial) Depende rin siguro sa school. It may take longer to graduate but hey u cant still finish med school... ❤✌
Psychiatry yung residency na gusto kong kunin. I know medschool is hard and expensive. Probinsyana ako. 😂 and sometimes I get discouraged. But I also keep in mind that napasa ko yung RPm board exams. I hope I can pass this one someday, too. 🌹❤
Hi po Doc Aura, request ko po sana gumawa po sana kayo ng video about sa psychologist.
Ano ang pwedeng i-take at ilang taon ang bago maging ganap na psychologist doctor hihi, notice me po Doc Aura . Love you po♡
Hello Anak doctora! Dahil wala kapang earning treat muna kita ng pangkapekape mo sa starbucks! You deserve so much after studying hard to be a doctor!
If you are passionate about working in the health field but also doing it for money, then it is much better to switch to dentistry instead, dentistry is only a 6 year program in the philippines and you can earn more money than most physicians depending on how you run your practice
Kung pera ang purpose bakit mo gusto maging doctor.. Mag isip2x ka nlng ng ibang path..
Marami ka dapat e consider bago ka pumasok sa medicine.. 1st is your willingness to help people specially yung mga walang pera,. Magkakapera ka naman din along the way bsta mag maintain kalang ng pamumuhay na average.. Maging contento kung meron man o wala... Kung passion mo talaga.Go lng... Hnd kaman magiging mayaman sa profession na pinili mo, atleast mamamatay kang naka ngiti at walang pinagsisisihan... Maraming bagay na hnd nakukuha ng pera ..
Wow we have it easy here. We get paid as med students on our final year of study (6th year), and we also get paid after that as house officers. Although our course fees can be quite expensive though (~17k NZD/year) but we have 0% interest student loans so it’s all good. 😳
I am grade 11 student now incoming grade 12 and I want to be a doctor to i always watch your videos po to inspire me and also to have a so much information. I have a question for you ate aura there's a possibility po ba na maging doctor ang isang kapos palad? Or should we say lack of financial po? Kasi I think If you want to be a doctor you need to invest a huge amount of money. Haysttt financial ang hadlang HAHA
Btw. This account is not mine this is my Mother's account. Im introducing myself po if mabasa nyo I know masyadong matagal na tong video but i always watch po kasi your video this whole quarantine actually hindi lang po sayo madami pang iba like preparing for UPCAT etc. Btw. I am pau po a student that inspired by you po thankyouu❤
It is possible. DOH have partner schools all over the philippines and they cover a lot of expenses you may incur during med school :) go search it up! Magiging doktor rin tayo balang araw
In U.S. the Family Practitioners, Pediatricians, and Psychiatrist offered the lowest pay with the Base average of $189,000 a year. An Orthopedic Surgeons is the highest with a base average of $519,000 a year. The Top 5 are Ortho Surgeon ($519K), Cardiology ($512K), Urology ($461K), Gastroenterology ($433), Otolaryngology ($412K).... Bottom 5 are Emergency Med ($264K), Endocrinology ($248K), Hospitalist ($221K), Internal Med ($203K) , Psychiatry, Family Practice and Pediatrics ($189K)
It's hard to quantify / give similar values for Physicians in the Philippines though. I don't know of any reliable source cos it depends a lot on each physician's private practice mostly.
Hello, Rey Munar. Yun lang ang puedeng i pursue ng Filipino doctors sa US and sabi mong lowest paid specialties of Family Practitioners, Pediatricians, at Psychiatrist. Don't say it is lowest paid kasi kung makapasok ka sa residency training sa US which is difficult. I compare mo yang dollars sa peso, Ang salary po ng doctor sa Pinas ay mas mababa pa kesa sa pinakamababang trabaho sa America. Maloloka ka, nagluluto ng hamburger, may sueldong 10 dollars per hour, and doctor sa Pinas as general practitioner, kalahating araw na kayod na yan. Ang registered nurses sa US, 30 dollars an hour, sa Pinas ang sueldo ng doctor ay 20 to 40 dollars per day. O yan, mababa ang gastusin diyan sa Pinas, mas mataas dito sa US, pero pag naipadala na namin yung dollars namin sa Pinas, eh di mayaman na yung nasa Pinas.
I'm 17 and I really want to be an OB one day. I'm really praying that one day I'll go back to this video and comment "I'm an OB doctor already".
Futureee anesthesiologist here! ikaw po talaga ang unang inspiration ko.
Thank you doc aura for this video.
Dr. Aura I have a question, is it possible for doctors in the philippines to become a doctor abroad especially thos students who finished k-12?
uppppp
Napaka sweet mo doc❤️❤️❤️
Moonlight because you’re working over night during the “moonlight.”
Ganda mo talaga doc..
Thanks for all the inspirations!♥️
Please enlighten me how to become a fertility doctor. What course to take ? Thank you .
Nakakainspired po talaga kayo 😍I really want to become a doctor😊😊😊😊😊
Hard working student but have a low self-esteem which can lead me to think what will be the result or that I don’t deserve to be a doctor in the future. a lot of teachers have told me that I am hard working and also good at taking responsibilities.
here’s the thing... no matter how hard working I am, I’m worried. I’m worried that after all the hardships my parents done for me especially if I take medicine I might end up failing. Is it worthy? Yes, it is. but how about the money they will spend? it might cost half a million just to persue my dreams. I don’t want to see them suffering and working hard just for me, just to persue my dreams, just to achieve it.
Tbh, sometimes I think about the other’s dream. a flight attendant, an architecture or etc. like..is it much easier to persue it? without costing a half a million of money that my parents will work hard for?
I actually don’t have a dream...but, in my second semester in my esp sub, A teacher asked us about our dream like those normal introduction to your new classmates. “What if I don’t have a dream po, ma’am?” I asked my teacher silently.. I already expect what she would say she’s like every other people out there “You don’t have a dream? that’s impossible” she answered me. it hurts... I thought she would comfort me saying it’s okay and think about something that interest me but, no. I just laughed when she asnwered with that ‘coz what can I do about it? cry? cry infront of her? NO.WAY.
that’s how I think about what interest me the most.
At first, I thought about being veterinarian then A flight attendant and turns out what interest me and what I love the most is learning new things about medicines.
This is my story. next year I’ll be a second year high school student hihi.
May I ask how did you deal with money in med school? I just don’t wanna make it too hard for my parents..
Gusto ko magdoktor kaso iniisip ko parents ko. 10-13 years kasi yung pagaaral. Edad 60+ na magulang ko bago ko maging isang ganap na doktor. Parang nakakahiya naman sa parents ko kung magaaral ako ng ganun katagal HAHAHA kaya nagdadalawang isip ako kung nursing nalang ba ko sa college
My uncle who is a neuro surgeon in st Luke's bgc earns 300 to 500k per craniotomy(more or less 20 years exp iirc
tell us more
Omg, sobrang mura pala ng sahod ng dr sa pinas??while here in japan moonlighting night duty ang pinaka mura is 24-25k??tapos hindi pa er ang work nyan, nakatambay, naglalaro, naghihintay lang ng tawag sa drs room nila..tsk..
Alam na ko na kung saan ako mag momoonlight after board exams hahaha
wow ha, masama pa loob mo kaai naglalaro at naghihintay LANG si dok？？ haha
Maganda pala dyan sa Japan.
@@klausmikaelson5888 mac-credit lng ang pagiging doctor mo doon kung doon ka rin nag college at med school
Iba naman ang standard of living sa Japan. Sobrang taas din. As in MATAAS. Even Europeans umaangal sa sobrang taas ng bilihin dyan even just for a small bottle of beer.
i am grade 11 student right now but i wanted to be a doctor I don't problem ABOUT THE SALARY of being a doctor the problem is how i will study medicine because studying medicine its super expensive ,,,
ouch saket naman neto.. first year medtech student ako at gusto ko talagang pumasok sa med school pero parang hindi talaga para sakin ang medicine. nakakaiyak! Gusto ko kasi talagang maging doctor pero ngayon pa nga lang nahihirapan na ang parents ko sa pag papaaral sakin, pano pa kaya pag magmed school ako😥 hayy buhay nga naman
Hey Aura...you are so brilliant! Just got done watching you and Baninay having fun with the "Hate Comments." That's what I like about you...you can be funny but at the same time you have that serious and professional side. I've always liked you ever since PBB. I just love your caring ways and your great attitude in general. Take care and God Bless!
Hi po maraming salamat!! :)
Aura Azarcon. You are welcome! I'm a big fan of yours and I have been for awhile. I'm sure you will do well in this field. You are passionate and very dedicated. Thanks for replying! BTW I'm really surprised at those numbers you gave. I guess we are all under the impression (wrongly I might add) that all Doctors get paid really well. Well, maybe later in their careers. I'm sure you will get there someday. Especially if you consider maybe practicing in the U.S. Doctors here make a bundle. :-)
Just re-watched episode 136 of PBB, remember that episode? That's when you told Kuya tunkol sa pinagdaanan mo as you worked towards your goal of becoming a doctor. It really broke my heart, a second time, seeing the tears in your eyes as you told your story. That's when I knew that you were heading for something big. That you will succeed in your aspirations. That's also when you won me over and became your supporter. :-)
PAG DOCTOR NAKO! BABALIK AKO DITOOO
Thanks Aura! This was really enlightening. :)
I saw the pay voucher of our resident doctor for his 1 day stay. He got 11k din. He's a reliever .. i'm staying at a private hospital.
Yup moonlighter / relievers earn a lot. But 11k less tax is pretty high for a 24 hr shift.
Aura Azarcon yup doc ang taas nadin nung 11k, pero deserve din kasi talaga ang hirap naman din talaga matoxic haha
NO BODY BECOMES A MILLIONAIRE OR A BILLIONAIRE BY WORKING FOR OTHERS AND DEPENDING ON THEM, GOOD INVESTMENT BRING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND CONSISTENCY BRING BILLIONS, THE MARKET IS ALL ABOUT BTC AT THE MOMENT NOW...
INVESTING IN CRYPTO NOW
SHOULD BE IN EVERY WISE INDIVIDUAL'S LIST, IN SOME MONTHS TIME YOU WILL BE ECSTATIC WITH THE DECISION YOU MADE TODAY.
THAT IS WHY I HAD TO START CRYPTO TRADING 2MONTHS AGO WITH EXPERT JASPER AND NOW AM MAKING BENEFITS FROM IT.
MY FIRST INVESTMENT WITH MR JASPER GAVE ME PROFIT OF OVER $60,000 US Dollars.
You're right sir.
Mr Jasper is the best when it comes to trading
Doctors work hard for the money or they love helping people but for me I'm going to make my money work hard for me.
Veterans Blog robert kiyosaki💪
15 ako gusto kong mag doctor kaso Pinag-aral ako ng magulang ko sa san beda dahil gusto nila ako maging lawyer 😭 mataas daw passing rate ng law sa san beda but I will move to UST to study medicine and become a future doctor
you'll figure it out, everything will fall into place :P
im experiment. i have a microchips inplanted in my head and earphone inplanted in my ears and microchips in my eyes. i feel electricity in my head and hear voices in my ears. is it normal doc?
First! Haha you're my inspiration ate Aura! Love yah! Hihi hahahahaha
huwaw ang bilis hihi
Thanks for this Video idol
I just realized i can't go to med school :( my family won't be supporting me financially after I finish my pre-med degree sana :(
heyyy have you heard about the senate bill no. 1250 that passed the 3rd reading na? its a medical scholarship, i'm not sure if it is called Doktor Para sa Bayan or something, you can search it to know more about it. If ever na maisabatas, you can apply for a scholarship. don't quit!! kaya 'yan!!
@@soheeyay hey i haven't yet but i'll check it, sana nga maisabatas
@@angelodelacruz589 may scholarship po yung doh. check it out po. :)
The government has a program for those aspiring doctors, but you have to work for the government for a certain period of time. In my case, my family cannot afford med school. So i decided to be a nurse and work abroad instead.
I will become a surgeon
Some doctor's aim is to earn money and saving lives is just a secondary thing for them. To some, it's no money no treatment policy.
Gobyerno ang may kasalanan, hindi doctor Tere Santy. Kasi kung lahat ng Pilipino may health insurance at libre magpagamot sa government hospital like in Canada, di ito mangyayari sa Pinas. Walang pera ang resident doctor, yung may ari ng hospital yun ang may pera. Sila yung may policy na no money down, no treatment sa private hospital.
This really helped me a lot! Thanks Doc :)
first year bio pre-med student here, scholarship is the key talaga. Pag di kinaya MS na lang. huhuhuhu
Thank you! This is so informative!
Sana merong gaya ni Doc Aura na sa law school din nakafocus.
Medical doctors start earn huge money when they become specialist like an oncologist or plastic surgeon for examples. Like any other professionals, they do step up the ladder of success.
Ganda ni doctora so beautiful
Can you make a video about applying for Residency?
Maybe not right now cos I'm personally not yet at that stage in my med school career hehe but eventually of course
Sisikapin ko maging doctor
Hello Doc aura your video is very nice. 💕 im just a grade 10 student. I just want to suggest lang po next video is different types of doctors and what course you'll take if you are going to choose those courses? Thanks in advance love lots 💕
Im just 14 pinagiisipan koparin kung para lang ba sa matatalino yung pagdodoctor lalo na i hate science pero gusto kong magdoctor to help other people
hindi sya parasa matalino, para sya sa masipag at matyaga :))
@@aiahighller699 thankyouuuuuu poooo♥️ in God we trust in Gods will☝️♥️mag papharma muna ako bago magdoktor
Nakakalungkot gusto mag med kaso panganay ako kailangan makatulong agad sa pamilya ☹️
As a medical intern myself, di ka talaga kikita unless may license ka.. And to be frank YES may pera sa medicine. A General practitioner can earn a minimum of 4000 per 24hr duty. It could be higher if you were able to suture in the ER. You admitted patients. You do the medical abstracts. Another is to be a company doctor. You can earn as low as 3000 just by staying for 2hrs in a clinic. Kaya kung magaling ka talaga rumaket yayaman ka talaga without the specialization. Di pa kasama dun kung magciclinic ka pa. Professional fee ng general practitioner on average is 250-300pesos per patient. Pero syempre iba pa din pag specialista ka..
may pera pero hindi katumbas ng perang nilabas ng magulang for tuition o ng perang kikitain mo dapat pero hindi mo kinita dahil nag aral ka pa for additional 5 years after college. delayed gratification talaga :)
Sobrang gusto ko talaga mag doctor pero, ilang years pa bago ka makatulong sa pamilya mo😭
kailangan suportado ka talaga nila
Siguro mag pupulis nalang po ako huhu im a shs graduating student choice ko sana mag bs bio then yan na pero parang iba na tingin ko ngayon...
Sana namention kung magkano salary sa iba't ibang specializations.
Google it and it is in the internet. They have both Philippines and USA data.
residency wise.. same lang
@@gideonvillar2849 po?
Hi guys I want to become cardiologist so pray for me to be successful doctor someday in Jesus name amen
real DOCTOR for SAVING LIVES, YOU CAN ACTUALLY WRITE WHAT WAS YOU STUDYING alone not with out using guineapig at ER without any REFERALS practised and testing all the MEDICINE at patient that 500 pesos-2000 per psychology complain, DENTIST denture, referals side effects and machine while Pharmacy laboratory STUDYING all your case ADULTERY
Thank you but am from a country that doesn't have colleges how can I come over and study there
It’s possible
The Filipina Doctors deserve to be paid more money each day for their hard work and intelligence.
Looks like I'll be subsidizing them in the future. Its the humane thing to do. When the time comes- they will get construction services at a deep discount. I specialize in the following Services: Heating & Air- Conditioning-
Master Plumbing Services- Electrical Services- Automotive Repair Services- and General Carpentry.
filipina? why only a specific gender?
@@rise7056 No specific Gender. Never assume anything.
