To be honest life not too bad.
Some weeks worse than others but I got lots of leave.
I attend course and cme on company time.
I earn sufficiently. Cannot huat with bunglow but ok lo, buy car buy house no problem.
Want second property stress a bit but doable.
I like the hours. 5 pm scoot out and go home.
I like the teaching. I know and have enuff experience now to teach the finer points of medicine to residents
Work is becoming v routine though
Nothing medical really intrigues me anymore
Listen a bit I know why liao, and lately I realise I don't have patience for patient
It's like brother, no need tell me grandmother story la...I know what's wrong with u.
Let me manage u and get the f out so I can see the next patient.
FM worldwide is always being look down one la.
Most countries FM just stand firm.
Only Singapore they go gyrate with sab wanting to gain recognition
何必做贱自己. Should tell them go fly kite.
For Singapore I dun blame hospitalist to look down on FM
Polyclinic was filled with really cmi rps and gdfm that anyhow one
Even now I shake head at the stupid management of some of my rps
讲不通， 骂不理.。
End up we have to spend extra time to undo the misunderstanding and wrong management.
The beyond hospital mandate is killing FM for sure
Everything also push to FM
My residents find their future bleak and I don't blame them
I've been telling them if u got no speed, don't plan to work in poly
Straight go GP , or train in pall, sports , rehab or go comm hospital

Agree with you worldwide FM is the lowest standing.
Several reasons. Usually it is the shortest training period. Another reason is usually lowest paid. We are talking about bread and butter FM clinical work.
But in other countries FM can also be very versatile. Because FM can pretty do anything if the employer or health authority accredits the FM to do it. There might need to be some additional training but it is usually not as long. Eg Palliative. Emergency. Chronic Pain. Opioid Agonist Therapy. Addictions. Mental Health. Psychotherapy. Anesthesia. Obstetrics. HIV. LGBTQ. Men's Health. Women's Health. Dermatology (skin cancer screening/surveillance and shave and punch biopsies). There are even more specific sub specialisations where FM can work as well. But you need to know your stuff and also know the specialists involved. A bit like how anesthetists need surgeons.
In SG it sounds like you guys only have OPS and Pte GP and Aesthetics as options. Sad.
