Hi aspirant,

The amount which you have mentioned is taken by the hospital and not the surgeon himself. Whenever any operations are done it requires several things included in bloods, medicines and other supervisors so how can the hospital pay the complete fee to the surgeon itself . When a surgeon works for a hospital there are two cases that is freelancing and permanent job when he is on permanent job the salary is fixed and the amount it lies between 3 to 5 lacs as you have mentioned. And if he is a freelancer and called for serious patients then he is paid some percentage of the operation but it in this case he is not regularly involved in all the operations conducted in the hospital. Now if a surgeon is very experienced hi can ask for high percentage of money for each operations that maybe in lacs.

Hope it helps!
