is it legal for a surgeon to charge whatever he thinks is fair for a surgery, if not then what is the amount till which he can charge
The charge or the fees for a designated procedure is usually decided by the Hospital if the surgeon is attached to it. Now if he/she visits as a Guest Surgeon as per the request of the patients family, then the personal charges can be decided by the Surgeon. Although the charge is to be decided on the basis of the professional ethics and the average procedural cost. So its not like that a surgeon can ask a very large amount for a small procedure but usually its in average a charge which is affordable by the family and sometimes the surgeons from the point of view of humanity charges very feeble from poor patients. So this are very relative terms and nothing standardized figures can't be produced.

if a neuroendoscopy costs rupees 30 lakh, how much of it goes to the surgeon
See this are very personal details which aren't disclosed by the Hospitals. For most of the cases, there are fees for the doctor who conducts a procedure. So there are fixed fees for the professionals and the entire amount charged don't only include the Surgeon but it also include other charges such as Medications, OT charges, Medical Assistance charges, Bed fees, Hospital Facility charges, Anesthesiologist charges, Additional medical support charges etc. So the fees the surgeon gets can't be concluded from any pattern.
Goodnight :-)

i saw that my doctor who is mbbs and quite renowned was getting offer of maybach gls from a pharma company does this happen often
Hello student,
Sorry to say you but it is not professionally possible to offer such things from any Pharma companies. Maybe if there is some private things and for this reason This can happen. Obviously I am not telling that. But in general open doctors get commissions from pharmaceutical companies for promoting their medicines. The amount of commission is obviously depends upon the popularity of this particular doctor in this locality. But the offer you have mentioned if quite impossible to provide by any local pharmaceutical companies.

i read in an article that there was a assistant surgeon in usa whose name was Harrison .T. Mu, who was a neurosurgeon. he charged 117000 dollars or approximatiely 87 lakh rupees for a surgery. why did he charge so much? is it legal
Yes student it is legal to charge this much for a brain surgery. A brain surgery can cost upto $50000-$100000, the patient doesnt have a health insurance. The cost of the surgery depends on the complications in the braim surgery.
The cost you mentioned must be of a patient undergoing brain surgery with major complications and he might not be having health insurance to cover the expense.
For any further query you can comment in the comment section given below.
Best Wishes
how much can surgeon earn from private practice in usa can it be 2 million usd
Dear Ishaan,
It depends upon surgeon to surgeon. If he/she is well experienced and have good name and fame in the market then he will be earning a handsome amount of money. But still a surgeon in USA earn approximately 2 Lakh US dollars per year. Surgeons of specialized areas earn a good amount of money than a normal surgeon. Everything depends upon the capability and best possible results.
Best of Luck for your future.
