Stop clowning
You don't get to do open heart surgeries every week because only few people who need it can afford it .
It's not rocket science.
If you do 4 cases in a month , you be baller

4 cases in a month or in a year.

Surgeon is an umbrella term .
There are different kinds of surgeons. And yes some surgeons make 2million or more every week.

Well, I put it to you that you are wrong. I paid, not that I am telling you of someone else's story. Facility fee is what goes to the hospital, consultancy fee to the specialist. Paid to the doctor via cash or bank transfer or through the hospitals pos machine to be remitted to the doc for consultancy.

Then it is not a government hospital or the doctor is doing some shady deals for real. Every revenue generated in a hospital is for the hospital and onward to TSA. Unless for some PPPs, because there are still some privately owned companies operating in government hospitals.

Because there's no data to support that doesn't mean it's not possible.

UCH has a private suite too
Yes, folks don't know. This I think started when the banker ibru madam was sent to jail. She claimed health grounds will keep her in medical custody. Sharp sharp I hear she built the facility in luth as a place for the elites. That was where she spent her jail term. Others followed. There is one in lasuth Ikeja, allegedly owned by the landlord of Lagos.
Seems uch has one too.

Lol stop saying what you don't know. Firstly, whatever income from the procedure will be distributed across your team. Even the anaesthesia doctor will have an equal cut.. . Also, what kind of complicated surgery of 2m do you want to be doing 5 times weekly with private practice? You can't earn that much in a government hospital and apart from the big name private hospitals, the remaining privates na mainly appendix removal and illegal abortion of like 30-50k dem dey do lol.

An average salary for doctors in government hospitals is between 120 and 200k. Senior regs in FMCs and teaching hospitals is between 220 and 270k. Consultants is 400k upwards ( although there are young consultants but most times you for don old before you reach that stage) Doctors don't earn much in nigeria . Many of them are struggling with their toyota big daddy and honda baby boy dem dey use do yanga up and down. Con dey toast and sweet mouth small small girls for streets with "I'm a medical doctor " talks. and Gone are the days where every child's dream is to be a doctor and lawyer. Both professions don too cast moat especially that law.. Those one na charge and bail and property agents full streets.

senior registrars earn about 500k. Your information is incorrect. Registrars earn 300k

Part of the reason why the cost of living is so high in the U.S. Over-priced if you ask me. A lot of them now travel out of the country for medical services because of this.

I agree with you. Most US citizens now go to Turkey for your medical treatment. Turkey now has one of the best and cheap medical treatment.

After seven years in school?
Do you want them to be unmotivated and forget Gauze pad in you after surgery?

All the doctors I know are well off and doing well. Private and public sector.
.

Nothing like 7over hyped year with acclaimed two degree?. Just one year difference with other health professional.

Pharmacy 6years
Nursing 6 years etc
With only 1degree.

This loo like a scam.

oga which surgery are you doing that will pay 2ml in total?

Don't just put information on the internet you can not defend
My mum was charged 4 million for the removal of goiter tissue growing inward inside her chest cavity for years. That does not include post surgery treatment. We spent less than that to fly her to India for the surgery, she even had change to shop with it in India. Mind you the flight ticket to and fro was for two people.

Do state government hospitals run TSA? Thought it was only fgn.
Besides even in federal facilities eg luth, they have similar executive place I think was built by a madam former bank MD. That place I hear is fully commercialized. More like a private hospital. Someone just commented that something similar is in uch.

We do but it's seems there's a lot of trauma they're dealing with themselves going by this supposedly simply question.

I see a lot were describing how difficult it is to study medicine, some thought people were envious of them and some even question the motivation behind the questions.

Funny how Emeka in abakaliki can open the Internet and get information about pay in Los Angeles but Fred from New York would sweat before getting answer to a simple question like this about Nigeria on the most popular forum in Nigeria
