I guess at the end of the day, with current inflation rate, we are all mercenaries lah (who doesn't want more money lol).
Fp who earns 8-9k will compare with private chain gps (13-14k)
Private chain gps will compare with those opening their own clinic (? 30-40k depending on your business acumen)
Public specialist will also compare with private specialist...

End of the day, we all want money over patient care..

I just walked past a chain in Kovan. So busy on a sat night.
I pity the Gp need to work weekend

My polyclinic colleagues are resting at home, enjoying fam life

The gp clinic boss need capital and need to assume risk.

Nothing comes free. You want money, work hard for it
