MEDICAL PROFESSION

This is copied from one one of my patient's posts. Totally apt for the medical profession of today.

Hence, sharing.

A customer asked me how much for 2 days wedding photography package 

𝗠𝗲: Rs 60,000 approximately ($800) 

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Why is it too expensive? all i need is an album and a video

𝗠𝗲: How much do you think it would cost you?

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Rs 7500/- ($100) maximum... It's just easy, right?! all you have to do is take  some pictures .

𝗠𝗲: hmm okay, maybe you can do it yourself.

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: but I don't know how...

𝗠𝗲: For Rs 7500  ($100) I'll teach you, with that, you can save Rs 52000 approximately ($700) You'll get the knowledge that you'll need. 

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Okay, I'm fine with that. 

𝗠𝗲: But to get started: We need some things first:

a professional DSLR ( 180000) ($2400) 

DSLR lens  ( 120000 ) ($1600)

light setup ( 30000 +) ($400)

other camera accessories ( 15000 ) ($200)

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Oh my. But I don't have all these photography equipments . Do I need to buy all of that? I just only need 1 wedding album n a video 

𝗠𝗲: ohh!! sorry i totally forgot about videography equipments .. those things will cost you extra 

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Really? what?...

When you pay for a job, you pay not only for the work materials, but also:

- Knowledge

- Experience

- Study

- Tools

- Services

- Time to go

- punctuality

- Accountability

- Accuracy

- Guaranteed

- Sacrifices

- Safety and security

No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices.

Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.
