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.”
