Been reading this forum n have many thoughts
1. Should require MCR to post so there will be less trolls
2. So much dispute about salary. Want to compare high earner in CS, compare apple w apple la w Raffles Medical CEO equivalent in medicine la. Truth is every field will have high earners. Most important is be happy w ur job so everyday go to work don’t feel like dying. Happiness is what money can’t buy
3. Junior doctors if unhappy w job now, not too late to switch. Can do moh posting till bond pay off, can do hospital admin, research, or total switch to do startup, business etc also can. Safe to say ur average doctor is smarter than the average Joe, so most likely the switch won’t be too challenging at least intellectually wise. Find something you love and do it for the next 30 years or so still got time.
4. Medicine , even if non procedural, won’t be replaced by AI or whatever in the next 100 years yet la. Don’t need argue w the trolls. U think Dr google can titrate their rheumatology meds meh? For the next 40/50 years, since medicine can’t be replaced yet, there will still a certain prestige that comes w the title (salary aside), because of the intelligence associated w the career and nature of it. Can’t say for the next few hundred years of cos. But If u r in medicine now, enjoy the privileged title that comes w ur job. No need explain so much to layman or trolls. If u r leaving medicine, u still have ur MBBS what. Keep it, enjoy it, and use it as a stepping stone to whatever else u r doing in future.

From a silent reader of this forum. I do well in my postings but have lately decided medicine is not for me. I just cannot see myself slogging it out on call for the next 10 years of my life plus minus. However I don’t regret going to Med sch because of the knowledge I learnt (very useful still), contacts built, and tbh I much rather get a professional degree to fall back on rather than some random degree like business admin. I have a privilege because I come from a background where financial worries are not a concern, but in spite of that I work hard. I have just successfully made a switch of career , using my mbbs as my stepping stone. Just want to give hope to everyone else here too.
And also maybe stop replying to sour grape trolls la. We all know they are the wannabes lol.
