Q: Is it true doctors in China are super underpaid?

Someone told me the doctors in China made as much as teachers in China, which I didn't take seriously at all. How much does your average hospital doctor make over here? Not talking super specialist in brain surgery...

they are quite under paid... thats the reason why my wife is not working now..

 

but .. they can get lot of money under the table... if they are higher level doctors... giving red bag is very very common... to the doctors who do surgery/delivery etc.... Also heard they get a small share of medicines prescribed as well...

 

Otherwise doctors are pretty cheap.... charge to visit a specialist doctor is just 3-4 yuan!!!

bribes can triple or even quadruple their salaries. (same with teachers) or they can just flat out scam their patients.

It's hard to count all the money they make under the table, but  I'm sure they're poor and they stole the cars they drive.
