Ma Kai's anesthesiologist's monthly salary is 600,000, which is very high? Chang Kei disclosed the salary of each subject and "this subject" exceeded 1.57 million per month to dominate the medical field

[Reporter Tang Shiming/Changhua Report] Hsinchu MacKay Memorial Hospital recently recruited an attending physician in the anesthesiology department. It was rumored that the guaranteed monthly salary would be NT$600,000, which triggered heated discussions in the medical community. However, at Changhua Christian Medical Center, this number is still in the “middle zone”! Salary information of Changji was exposed, showing that the average monthly salary of anesthesiologists is NT$609,000, while the average monthly salary of the "thoracic surgery department" that won the championship in the hospital was as high as NT$1.577 million, breaking the industry ceiling in one fell swoop and making many peers envious.

In addition to the outstanding thoracic surgery department in Changji, the average monthly salary of cardiac surgeons is NT$1.439 million, and that of otolaryngology, head and neck surgery is NT$640,000. In comparison, the monthly salary of dermatologists is about NT$324,000, which falls in a low-wage area. Chang Kei emphasized that the hospital adopts "different pay for different jobs". The harder and the higher the risk, the higher the salary will be.

Many netizens are curious that the proportion of self-funded medical care in Changji is relatively low. How can we support such generous treatment? Chen Mukuan, the general director of Changji University, personally revealed that the hospital's self-funded projects are the lowest among medical centers in Taiwan and can provide top-notch salaries. The key lies in "open and transparent procurement negotiations". The general director does not intervene in the negotiation and directly feeds back the saved operating costs to the employees.

"Medical care is about value, not price!" Chen Mukuan pointed out that Changji upholds the spirit of "doing justice and loving mercy" to make the disease accessible to the poor, and the rich also rush to get it. The better the employee benefits, the better they can take care of their patients. These seemingly "urban legends" of high salary and low out-of-pocket expenses are exactly how Chang Kee takes care of his employees and patients on a daily basis.
