To the public who feel jealous of doctors for their earnings and complain about the consultation fees they receive… Here’s a little explanation:
When you were enjoying your high school days, he/she was the one who couldn't share that happiness, buried in books and stress.
When you slept peacefully from 9 PM to 6 AM, he/she managed with just 5 to 6 hours of sleep.
While you were enjoying beers and outings during your first year of college, he/she was the one shedding tears over cadavers.
When you started looking for boys/girls to date, he/she was busy drawing histology diagrams with eosin and hematoxylin.
When you were planning your wedding in final year, we were still struggling with Medicine and Obstetrics.
When you got married, we couldn’t even consider it — we were preparing for postgraduate entrance exams.
When you started earning, we were still working like slaves during our PG training.
This journey continues… even now.
A doctor usually settles and starts earning properly only after the age of 35.
So please —They deserve every bit of what they earn for the sacrifices they’ve made throughout the first half of their lives.- post by phjobsmedicinaedoctor
