A Nigerian female doctor expressed sadness over her pay after spending eight years in medical school.
She calculated her salary on an hourly basis and was taken aback by the amount.
In a TikTok post by @drdeizwa, she stated that she just did the calculation, and the realisation made her heartbroken.
The doctor said
POV: It finally dawns on you that you spent 8 years in medical school only to earn N360/hr (approx $0.25 per hour) as a medical doctor.
I did that calculation today and I’m beyond mute and heartbroken.
Sharing how she calculated it in the comments,
she said
Hmmm. This calculation is dicey. We go nothing less than 10hrs a day (that’s a very good day, no call.) with calls, 24-48 hr stretch.. and alternate day calls are common. Check my pinned video for context.
