The cost of generous compensations

 The  cost  of  generous  compensations

https://medicaldialogues.in/pdf_upload/ncdrc-radiologist-177723.pdf

 A  radiology  center  works  313 days  a  year  and  does  30  scans  a  day  each  costing  Rs 800  if  the  doctor  does  not  take  any  leave  besides  the  Sundays. This  gives  a  gross  income  of  75,12,000  per  year  to  the  center. After  expenses, loan repayments even if  we  assume  the  centre  earns  1/3 rd  of  this  amount  it  comes  to  approximately  25  lacs. If  the  doctor  takes  a  loan  @  10% to  pay  this  compensation  of   1.25  crores  the  monthly installment  over  a  period  of  8  years  would  be  2,34,375.  His  current  earning  of  2.1 lacs  per  month  will  not  cover  this  installment. If  he  wishes  to  maintain  his  income (@1/3rd  of  his  previous  gross  ie  2.1 lacs)  he  has  to earn Rs  4,44,375  per  month  not  accounting  for  any  inflation  over  next  8  years  which  means  his  gross earning  per  month  has  to  be  10,68,375 pm.  At 30 scans per day for 26 days a month each scan will  cost 1370 Rs approx.  This  Rs  570  per  scan  increase  in  cost  of  each  scan.

And  then  we  cry  hoarse  that  cost  of  healthcare  is  rising.

Another  major  issue  raised  in  this  judgment  is  the  difference  between  level I & Level II  anomaly  scan. The  radiologist’s  defense  that  he  was  not  asked  to  perform  a level II  scan was  dismissed  by  the  honourable  court. This  judgment  will  have  huge  implications  for  radiologists  and  gynaecologists  across  the  nation.

Why   doctors  in  India  do  not  plan  for  their  retirement ? Genetic Code As  Indians  we  are  genetically  programmed  to  save  money  for children’s  education  and  marriage, a  house  maybe  and  those  exceptionally  gifted  with  super intelligence  take  a  health  insurance  too. Whatever   we save   and   invest   is  keeping  these  targets  in  mind. Social security  including earning  money  after  retirement  is  a  thought  which  does  not  cross  our  minds. Our  bollywood  movies  have  assured  us  that  in  the  old  age  we  will  be  taken  care  of  by  the  sons...
