I know many might tell me it’s not worth it, but let’s just say taking my current pay command of $130/hr, how much does locum pay actually compare? Public/private diff? I know they say if you’re going into medicine for the money, you are going in for the wrong reasons. To be clear, I am not. Am truly passionate about doing medicine, but I just wanted to do some math and financial calculations. TIA.
