Salaries are much lower in here but also training for gp is 5 years instead of 6 and 3 years for a nurse. Something like 50 k usd basis salary plus per patient you have on your register that you care for. Salaries go from 110 k usd to 220 k usd for specialists. Keep in mind these guys are basically debt free and dont have a mortgage to their name after graduation.As far as I know private and state are totally seperate here.
You’re not paying for a surgery at a state hospital, it’s a privately owned private hospital with their own doctors etc. (Granted, doctors may be public doctors moonlighting there.)
If you can get a hip replacement for less than $20K in Scandinavia, it seems that there’s something totally out of wack with the American healthcare system. Don’t know if it’s salaries or insurance premiums, but SOMETHING.
Medfags: How much is a hip replacement in the US? Is $20K a good deal?
