The difference is huge.
In the past few days, something big has happened in South Korea:
Doctors have resigned en masse, postponed or canceled surgeries, and pushed the country into a medical crisis to resist South Korea's plan to expand the enrollment of medical students.
* Not to be outdone, he threatened to revoke the doctor's license or even arrest him, but the doctor was unmoved, and when he saw the news today, even the medical students said that they would suspend their studies.
At the moment, it seems that both sides are tough, and there is no intention of backing down.
Chinese people don't understand that it's a good thing to expand the number of doctors, but now that doctors are under so much pressure, wouldn't it be good to have more people to help?
This is not understanding the difference between Chinese and foreign healthcare systems.
Bottom line: The resignation of doctors in South Korea is not only a matter of the medical system, this year is the year of the South Korean parliamentary election, and all parties are constantly moving, even the next door is ready to move, but this is not the focus of today's topic.
Back to the point: as the aging population intensifies, the world is facing a shortage of medical resources, and this is the case in China, and even more so in South Korea, which may be a little more serious than China, because they entered the deep aging population earlier.
But why are doctors against adding doctors?
This is to compare the differences between Chinese and foreign medical systems.
Let's start with foreign countries:
As you know, the cost of pre-cultivation of doctors is very high, and the cost is divided into three parts:
Labor costs: Medical students generally need to have good intelligence, which is a prerequisite, and if you don't have enough intelligence, you can't graduate.
Tuition costsThe training of medical students requires a large number of experiments, laboratories, instruments and reagents, and the cost of these is not higher than that of other majors, so the tuition fee in medicine is also very high.
Time cost: It takes almost 10 years for a doctor to go from studying to actually practicing medicine. Domestic medical students generally have to study for a master's degree and a doctorate, and some majors even need to study for a doctorate, and then a clinical internship before they can be regarded as officially graduated.
Therefore, in foreign countries, only middle-class and above families can afford the cost of doctor training, ordinary people want to study medicine have to bear a high loan, everyone watches American dramas, the salary of doctors in the United States is so high, but many doctors have worked for many years and are still paying off student loans.
When you think about it, the logic is clear:
A person with high intelligence has spent a huge amount of tuition costs, studied for ten years, and has paid high returns, and the treatment of doctors is very high around the world, and the average annual salary of doctors in developed countries is basically more than one million yuan.
That's why they're against adding doctorsBecause some national hospitals are predominantly private, changes in the supply and demand of doctors will affect their treatment, of course, to oppose it, not to mention that they have already paid a staggering cost before.
It's different at home :
Because China has a larger population than other countries, a poorer medical base, and the lowest per capita medical resources, it is too slow to train doctors on an individual basis.
The state directly took over the training of doctors:
The tuition fees of medical students are the same as those of other disciplines, and students basically have no burden, and the experiments and equipment and even internships are all one-stop, and the only thing they need is intelligence and hardship.
Therefore, studying medicine in China is one of the best ways for the children of ordinary people.
But in the same way, the remuneration of Chinese doctors is not higher than that of foreign countries, but it is also very good compared to other professions in China.
It's understandable :
After all, the state pays for the training costs in the early stage, and the low salary is actually a kind of repayment
However, the state has also compensated in terms of establishment and honor, although honor is often a kind of unpaid labor, Chinese doctors do work harder than abroad, and they understand everything.
So sometimes, the doctors themselves compensate themselves:
For example, the previous use of medicine to support doctors, such as accepting red envelopes, and for example, the chaos in the process of medical rectification last year.
Although there is confusion, especially in a certain traditional medicine, China's medical system is obviously more in line with national conditions.
In such a comparison, it is not difficult to understand what happened to Korean doctors.
Finally,On medical issuesI am on the side of national capacity, and I hope that South Korea can handle it well.
That's all
