I would love a quick answer on this one if anyone can.

I just got accepted for an exchange to NUS for 2 months.
A few months back when I applied I was very excited for the exchange.
However since I've red online and talked to a singaporian student I've realized that working 80 hours per week as a doctor isnt anything for me (I live in Sweden, working hours for doctors is about 40 hours per week).

Problem now is that I can't really decide wether to go or not.
Housing is very expensive and the exchange will cost me a lot of money.

My question is:
Is working as a doctor really as bad as people say in Singapore? 80h weeks, medium pay.
Worth going on exchange anyway? Will probably cost me about 3000-4000 euro.
