M.med even less impt in my time.
Most just go out open clinic
Times were simple. Doctors were few
No TPA, cash only
Receptionist 800 per mth.
One year hardly 20 pple want do family and community medicine as it was know back then.
Polyclinic was a hardship posting and we got to get IM trainees to do a term
Ops was never a place for serious medicine last time
So whoever garang can take up head. No one interested la
Now they prefer at least m.med
And think almost all got fcfp.
And more pple interested so got competitive.
Nowadays m.med more impt tbh
Only with it u can eek out a decent paying job in public
Private world, I dunno man
Clinic mushroom all over the island
But all not doing real medicine
Some chains expand so fast flushed with pandemic money
Give it a few years when money dry out see what happens.
You don't want to be stuck without a job, in a saturated private market where u can't open a clinic and don't hhave a pedigree that allows u dignity in public
U got m.med training dun waste it on urti , back pain.
