The article discusses the pay structures for doctors in Poland compared to other countries like England, Norway, and Denmark, which have more transparent salary tables and clear rules for raises. In contrast, Poland's system combines permanent positions and B2B contracts, leading to controversies around the 'raise law.' The article highlights the phenomenon of 'Medyk-milioner,' where doctors work multiple contracts across different hospitals, sometimes up to dozens of hours per day, due to staffing shortages in Polish hospitals. These doctors can earn up to four-digit hourly rates, making such work arrangements possible.
