Hello Aspirant,

I hope that you are doing well.

No hospital offers doctors a BMW or even a free car. They can, however, acquire from their own money.

It depends on the doctor's background and the type of doctor he is. For example, some specialists, such as cardiologists, earn between 2 and 3 lakhs each day, which implies they can easily afford it.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Thank you

Hello,

Neurosurgeons are medical specialists treat conditions of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves of the face, arms, legs, hands and feet.

-----  Neurosurgeons are the most highly trained of doctors, studying for a minimum of 15 years before they're permitted to perform unsupervised operations on patients.

---- They are among the highest-paid surgeons due to the complex nature of the work.


Average annual income of neurosurgeons in India is estimated at around 50 Lakhs.


----- Also from your profile it is evident that you are Class XI aspirant of medicine. It is quite remarkable to be inquisitive about things but queries that you post on the daily basis don't seem to be any way relatable to you.


--- Stop spamming the platform with your illogical and not so worthy imaginary and hypothetical Questions.


I hope you find the answer helpful.

Thank you.
