"Dr. Zhou, does my brother need to have open-heart surgery?"
The patient's sister standing nearby could only half understand, and she was very worried about her brother's treatment.
Her family background was not good, and she had just graduated and was interning at a company.
She hadn't even passed the probation period, and her monthly salary was pitifully small. Nowadays, most unscrupulous bosses set internship periods of over three months, the longest being over a year.
Interns don't get bonuses; they only receive the minimum basic salary each month, which is essentially a common understanding.
Because the labor cost is much lower than that of regular employees, many hospitals and other organizations favor a long internship period.
The worst should be hospitals, with internships of one year, essentially working for free.
They even need to subsidize the hospital with money.
The following three years of residency training come with only the minimum basic salary.
