Conclusions

This is because there is an existing cultural belief that doctors are paid low wages thus rendering doctors as professional, worthless. We know that doctors are people who are well educated and treated with respect, however, in Chinese culture, it is the opposite of this since they believe that a doctor is a useless profession which does not pay.

The necessary measures must be taken to deal with this problems associated with doctors. A doctor is a person who is well educated and deserves good payment as well as respect from the patients. People need to be educated that doctors are high learned people and very important people in the society who should be respected. In order to attract people to become doctors and like the profession, the long working hours of doctors should be reduced, and their salary increased.
