As you should know information discrepancy very common. Patients dunno what is good medicine vs good PR skills butter up auntie uncle.
I have never heard of OPS dr get bonus cos he or she got the highest % of patients with HBA1c <7 or BP on target.
Case in point in the general pool, patients dont see back the SAME dr. Not allowed to choose even if they wanted. If want must go FP clinic pay more.
So as an MO in OPS you want that A grade play the game. And do some projects for the OPS. Research project etc.
Your ideals are well meaning and good. But the pragmatic reality is it doesnt pay lah.
Spending time and effort to counsel lifestyle mod? Dont waste time lah. Thankless work. And kena many many ignorant patient say and say till vomit blood nobody appreciates really.

you sound v jaded leh and yes I agree it doesn't pay. but ok la, hopefully I amass some good karma for my mother and my child. there are days I super Sian also don't want talk and there are days I want to quit too.
u are paid if KPI metrics for hba1c and BP is met. not a lot but can pay for annual car tax and a good staycation. at least for me la. I drive a 2.5l car btw.
u think it's thankless becuase , ahem, u dun know how to counsel. I agree some is hopeless gone case u don't need talk more but a lot will listen if u can speak their frequency
I actually do counsel the full range of stuff for osteoporosis before I start lei. u need skill to bring all the information across succinctly, but yes, including mechanism of action as well.
