Too many assumptions and too far fetched generalizations.
What's the Difference between compensation package between Canada / US doctors vs India?
For starters : Resident Stipend in US etc is more than Consultant Salaries in India. With practice being much more difficult here. Work Hours are pretty reasonable in West, not so here.
So I feel very amused when someone compares that "Xyz Headphone is Cheaper in US, India sucks! " Let me reassure, If you loose your hearing because of the headphones mind that, Cochlear implant would cost at least 10 times cheaper in India. Medicines, Surgeries are much cheaper here.
For Example : It works out cheaper to Catch flight to Mumbai from NY and get the surgery done and go back, than getting it done in US. India is a favorite destination for medical tourism currently.
1. Western doctors Superiority is again a myth. There's nearly Ten Studies which highlight immigrant Indian doctors are better than native Americans

In fact, Indian doctors and Staff Nurse is a Brand in US.
2. What's the Age Doctors start earning? 28 yrs for Broad Specialists and 34 yrs for Super Specialists. Till that age they've to live on meager stipend ( Pvt institutions don't pay) or parents money or loans. Medical education is costly apart from money ; it takes most of one's youth.
3. Do any IITians or Govt Engineering graduates need to do compulsory Rural service for 1yr after graduation to get their certificates?
No, doctors have to! Many times To work in places hostile enough to survive, even without basic facilities some time. Even Pvt Medical Students have to do. Why this discrimination?
4. When everyone is working for Commercial interests, why do you single out any professional? Why do you expect doctors to practice socialism?
5. There are nearly 5 authorities a person can approach in case of suspected malpractice, prove it and get the compensation. Healthcare is not a absolute science, there are so many lacunaes in scientific evidence.
6. Here's the best part ; Compensation is awarded on the basis of what the diseased was capable of earning over a life time had he not been affected by Medical Negligence. Is the person charged, based on what his compensation would be? No tariff plans are same for everyone.
7. I'm not going in to details of how much it costs to run a hospital and Beurocrats are the worst when it comes to doctors. Why do you regulate surgery and investigation charges, when you don't give anything in subsidised rates to private hospitals? Compare it with popcorn in movie theaters or bottled water in Airports or Luxury hotels.
As with all professionals there will be corrupt in this profession too, but making such generalizations is stupidity.
