A Hyderabad doctor’s tweet on the stock market has sparked debate, revealing that he used to earn Rs 9k per month. Dr Sudhir Kumar said that his financial investment paid him more than his medical profession.
A Hyderabad doctor’s tweet about earning Rs 9,000 after 16 years of MBBS has gotten a lot of attention online. Dr. Sudhir Kumar, a neurologist at Apollo Hospital, wrote about his hardships in the early stages of his medical career.
Dr. Kumar stated that as a young practitioner, he earned Rs 9,000 per month. His teachers at CMC Vellore also taught him that “a doctor’s life should be frugal.”
All started with Dr. Kumar’s tweet regarding the stock market. When a user urged him to delegate equities investment management to specialists, he responded by claiming that equity investing pays him more than his medical business.
When a user advised physicians to band together and demand more remuneration, he stated that medical profession is seen as charity by the general public, lawmakers, and the judiciary.
Dr. Kumar’s tweet encouraging people to see medical practise as a social service prompted debate, with one user stating that it is difficult for a young practitioner who is struggling to make ends meet to see it as a social service.
Another user, Y Praveen Kumar, raised the issue of rising living costs and inflation. Dr. Kumar further stated that his remuneration was the same as that of a peon in a government agency.
