Most capitalist run countries do not train doctors and nurses they need, because they typically dont care about healthcare of their people, unlike socialist countries That is why healthcare costs are high and doctors demand high pay
Absolutely i have paid in crores for mbbs itself but we get no money during internship and every they are just doubling seats and compromising quality of doctors
Thank you so much Dr. A. As the younger-brother of a UCL-Imperial schooled Doctor 3 years from Consultant. She will actually likely be going to Australia by next year. Worst thing is, she feels some sort of 'Bond' with NHS because the NHS has superb high "brains trust" or in-house know how. She is salaried at £38,000 and yet works 50hrs p/w. Many years in A&E. Unfortunately she and 1000s others will go to AUS. I suggested USA since you become a Millionaire, but she has a strong hatred of the U.S Medical system. The way you explained this is so clear, so rational. It's sort of scary that the grown-up adults of this country can't understand this. I'm a Public Policy and Diplomacy student, and I tell you if a Govt doesn't care about its health system, there is clearly a problem which is long-term. The UK will soon decline sharply, and its a shame as the macro stats of UK are strong; it's just the governance has gone down such a level. Terrible. As you said BMA, which is the holy grail, is being attacked but the public. It's a head-banging issue not worth explaining tbh. I feel for you, and I hope you get the right value for your work + your ethics and all the brain value you paid for yourself. p.s. LOL at the BMA chairman; is that a mini dream of all DRs/MDs? All the best, Bob.
the 38,000 a year is what she is salaried right? for a full time 37.5 hrs contract? so if she is working 10 plus hours overtime a week she is making much more than 38,000 a year right?
@@kp05971 ok this is pointless for 1 single reason NHS staff have a choice about their career path Patients don't have a choice about requiring treatment
@@MCDONALD6969 well that one single reason plays a crucial role dont u think? For a doctor to treat their patients properly its important for them to be healthy physically and mentally too. you are right, we have a choice to leave, imagine if everyone really starts leaving. can u imagine a world without doctors? all we are asking for is a little more credit for the amount of work we put in. not sure why people are making this a huge deal are we not humans??
Wait am confused .. so you saying post tax a doc gets £8 an hour. So if a junior doc works 40 hours a week (on avg) .. they only take £1280 home? (pre tax= £2240). If thats the case? How the hell they survive a month with just rents being around £400 to £600 for one room? And off course other bills too. Am i missing something. 😮
My take home pay as a doctor is £1.7k ish a month (but I get extra for being in London). Rent is £800-1.2k for a single room in a house or flat share near my hospital. Let’s just say it’s a tight budget
These are temporary issues. It's not like if government don't increase their pay. They will move to other countries, who will take them? You can go there but just don't rant about India like him. We are a nation where majority of poor people with third class health depends on food given by government. Doctors are most respected people in our country. Doctors earn way more than 95% of population. If you want good pay migrate to other country but don't say that pay is less. Can you say the same in UK? In UK or US, are they earning more than 95% people.
Come to the UK for studying It's the best in the world After you finish your training leave to some European country or Canada or Australia for better pay and lifestyle!
I completely support the doctors' strike. Being paid £14 an hour to save lives is ridiculous. Bus drivers earn more, train drivers earn more. This is not about competing with other professions, I'm just trying to put their pay into perspective. I wish you well in your fight. The government has money to spend. It's just that they don't want to spend it on doctors. Even a 35% increase only amounts to about £19 an hour. That's ridiculous. Good luck.
I think in reality there are very very few doctors being paid that much, and even the ones that are, they are brand new newly qualified doctors whose salary will increase markedly after the 1st year, and then 2nd etc.
Excellent basic hourly rate of pay for a first year medical graduate trainee with limited practical experience taking their first tentative steps to learn the trade under strict supervision and guidance.
14 pounds per hour? How much do you guys make per month on an average as a 2nd year resident for example? (I'm a 2nd year resident in Germany and that's why I'm asking)
We do not really have a full service private hospital sector. (Maybe a couple in London with a bit more to them). They don’t have intensive care facilities, emergency departments. If a Doctor valued their reputation they would need to be in the NHS, that’s where the research and top level treatments are happening. Private hospitals only do routine surgeries and consultations, if you are having a hip replacement and say have a heart attack on the table, you will be transferred to an NHS hospital.
Look it up, you obviously have an internet device. I’m no medic, but yes they can be. It’s basically the skin breaking down and ulcerating, infection can get in and can lead to sepsis. Often seen in elderly patients left lying in one position for too long and not being kept clean.
Doctor will get pay based on how much income their patient have and can spend on health care. UK government charge NI and tax and doctor is paid from this income taken from people income. Doctor is important profession but other profession are also important. Doctor should not expect more than other profession.
Hey doc, i was wondering why did you choose uk for your residency and not usa, because in one video of yours you told you were preparing for MLE's but ended up not giving it. What were the specific reasons that made you choose uk over usa or any other country as a matter of fact. It would be great if you make video on this. PEACE
I would guess the immigration process and acceptance of qualifications and training is easier for the UK? The NHS is very used to Indian educated Doctors.
£29k to start on is better than other professions. If you look at engineers and architects, they also deal with risk every day (no one wants a building/structure to collapse), do overtime, work long hours, long profession 7 years minimum, heavy debt, and are paid less in private sector. There is no money in the public sector. Tax payers continue to pay tax which increases every year, but are not seeing any improvements but a system going downhill. We all want a fair wage. I am not saying doctors are paid enough, they are underpaid. But many of my doctor friends go on holiday overseas at least once a year, travel around UK doing day trips, and eat out once a week at least...this kind of lifestyle is better than many others actually. I pity visa holders most for paying IHS and tax...some are paying more than they actually will ever use. It's more affordable to pay one-off in private for them if they are generally healthy.

Sir, as my senior plz wish me so that I can do well in the exam. Sir, and also plz give me some valuable advice for NEET Aspirant. Sir, a huge respect to you sir.
No. Only consultants can take on private work, and nearly all of them do private work (especially surgeons & aneasthetist) on top of their contracted hours - A HUGE income increase compared to when they were junior doctors, this is when they start making 6 figure salaries. Junior doctors can do locum work (paid a bit more), which is like agency work within the NHS but they cannot progress into specialist and consultants from this role. It's a double edgeed sword really. Hope that helps.
Yeh wrong no. Hai … fight for everyone not only for you … every person working with are affected…. You are doing for self … and they don’t give a shit if you are alone.

Dumbed down doctors rejected by the private sector will go on strike and issue empty threats to fool the gullible British public that other countries would employ them if their unreasonable demands are not met - it’s time to call their bluff.
Instead of you focusing on why Dr's should get paid more your focusing on Physician Associates (PA) . Before they came on the scene Dr's still were not getting paid enough. PAs are paid under a different contact:the agenda for change, the Dr's contract is the problem which needs to be changed by the Government. That's where you should focus your energy on.
Doctors being greedy? Tell me something that's new. Doctors should be in the profession to serve the humanity and not to make millions. Salaries should be cut even further and the money saved should be used to expand staff and nursing. Peace.
@@DoctorAmedicine If you overspent on your house then downsize, duh? Why should the exchequer be burdened for bad money management of individuals? There is rampant drug abuse and homelessness, the money should be better spent on those more urgent problems.
