Load in ops is not light
But private one also not easy. Pple wouldn't hire u to see 30 patient a day.
Hear say maybe cut down to 5 patient an hour soon in ops.
Salary is better outside if u no m.med.
But if got m.med outside can't match unless u work 60 hours a week.
Hourly rate m.medder in ops quite hard to beat.
Other things like insurance , maternity benefits private one all don't have

Even 5 patients an hr is tiring as they r mostly elderly with many chronic medical problems and sometimes acute problems too.
In GP land, the patients are mostly with simple problems, uncomplicated compared to polyclinics.
I see 40-60 patients in a typical 8 hr day as a GP in a big group chain and generally not too tired when I go back home. Can still go shopping and do other things. But I remember last time in polyclinic, it was really shag. Maybe thimgs are better now.
