And in Australia they dominate the list of highest paid professions, so I immediately wonder how many other wealthy countries were skipped before settling on Cuba as a comparison.
- mcast 4y agoI know Australia has public and private healthcare systems, do physicians get paid the same in both markets?
- fifteenforty 4y agoMore in private, but not the difference on an hourly basis is not necessarily that much.
- fifteenforty 4y agoI’ve had lawyer patients just giggle at the fact that I’m near the top of the income rankings in Australia. ‘Clearly doctors don’t hide their income very well!’ Patients pay less, and I get paid relatively more in Australia (less in absolute terms than the US). There are fewer middlemen clipping the ticket.
