To save humanity is a big challenge. Medical science is a huge sector for the people to serve humanity.This field has some thoughtful reminders for the people to think. According to a group of people, they think that now doctors choose this profession to earn high instead of any respect for humanity.This seems to be somehow correct because they are earning high according to the new research report of 2016.
First of all, it is necessary to throw some light on the aspect of caretakers? What it really means? The caretaker is a complete responsibility.It is perfectly defined as a person or a physician, nurse or social worker who assists in the identification, prevention or treatment of an illness or disability.It is a person who really cares for his love ones. As the world turned into globalization every person needs good education, and daily needs are increasing.The ratio, of expenses, s also increased to much extent.Now the people seem to be more busy and have a tension of earning more and more in order to support their families.So Doctors are also running in this race.
According to the Plato;”The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and the physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated.”
According to the Seneca;”People pay doctors for his trouble or his kindness they still remain in his debt.”
There are many ways of paying for the hospitals, physicians and other health care providers.The positive way of paying them in both sectors,private health insurers and by government is called “fee for services”. Fee for service is the right of the health service provider. But unfortunately every health service provider think that it is his right to take as much as they can from the patient.It is the biggest market to earn now.
The major paid doctors by specialty are orthopedists, cardiologists, dermatologists, gastroenterologists and radiologists, other statistics say that pediatricians, endocrinologists, family physicians, H IV an infectious-disease specialists and allergists.The graph shows the estimated earning of the various doctors.
It is also estimated that the doctors also earn commissions from the pharmaceutical companies.Pharmaceutical companies paid out more than $250 million to some 17,000 doctors and nurses across the country in 2009 and 2010, according to a new database compiled and published by ProPublica, a non-profit investigative journalism group.
This data is taken from the seven drug makers who manufacture almost about 35x percentage of the medications sold in America.But the same tradition is followed in many other countries like South Asian countries too.This report showed that nearly 400 of those doctors received payments of $100,000 or more to promote drugs.
ProPublica also found that in 18 states the 250 doctors had been accused of using the medicines in a wrong way. So it is considered that doctors are also involved in doing “Corruption”.
The doctors and pharmaceutical companies have a great bonding relationship.It shows that some time if the patient can recover from the less amount of medicines, but they give them high potency and more medicines.They have some sort of personal contact with the pharmaceutical agencies that will pay them with high commissions.So there is less humanity spirit remains in the doctors.
According to Levin;”It might be hard for patients to believe that a person they trust so much would behave badly, but he advises people to put even more trust in their own instincts.”
The best patient care requires doctors and other healthcare professional to have the most accurate, up to date information possible regarding new and existing medicines. According to the new health care reform by 2013 all the pharmaceutical companies are required to report the payments to the providers and the government will make the information available to the consumers.
The average primary care doctor made $195,000 ;the average specialist made $284,000.But those averages hide quite a bit of variability based on different factors. Doctors in the rural areas also tend to earn more and this year’s survey found that average salaries were highest in the North Dakota, Alaska, and Wyoming and the lowest in the District of Columbia, Rhode Island and Maryland.
Brand name drugs generally cost more than generic drugs. The other aspect of this controversial topic is that it is not the hard and fast rule that every doctor is involved in this drug corruption or mafia.It depends upon the nature of the person. Even in this world when everyone is moving in a rush hour and no body cares for any one but still people with good soul exist.There are also a group of doctors who care about the life and its importance of life.Life is the most precious element that is given to the human.If someone loss the life it means that he left his loved ones permanently. Some doctors combined together and make the foundations where they provide the health services or medications free or at low prices so humanity can have a hope to survive. By profession doctor is a noble career to choose. A doctor is considered to be the savior of humanity. So people adobed this profession to serve the humanity.A group who made the foundation have a cause to make the life of the mankind as much as possible easy.
Doctors are caretakers or money takers is a long piece of discussion.This includes both the factors of life.The positive aspect but that is counted in the less proportion and other is money takers.Doctors mostly now have greedness to earn more and more in order to support their family.They want that their childrens must be highly educated and much have all the luxiours of the life.Both aspect must be keep in the mind so that people should be much aware of the factors that now doctors are also involved in the list of corrupt people somehow.
