I am seeing a trend of man GDFM FP and interestingly young MMED FP and even young AC ( though not as many as MMED/GDFM FP) leaving OPS to join private. They pay might be only slightly higher in private but its all got to do with stress in OPS.

The younger doctors are no longer of the mentality of " slog it " to " farm" . They are looking for work life balance and also mental well being, their mental bandwith is also clearly lesser than senior docs and its high time people in the higher ups realise that.

Changing doctor Q to 10-15 min slots will be necessary
Private work life balance also not that great also la
Couple of evening and every weekend burn
Annual leave not too much.
MC also cannot always take

Female go 4 month matternity Ur small chain boss will frown
Cme point also stress

The medical manpower cost is 120 an hour for most clinic
Open 11 hours a day is 1320
Means clinic no revenue of 2600 very hard to make business sense liao
Most clinic break even at 40 ish patient a day
Number wise as private GP u need see this number minimally
Same as ops.
Like some say congnitive load is higher. But it's relative.
I deal with ops CDM. Anything else I refer or offer to refer.
Not my job to be a hero. I dunno means I dunno.
U want take meds u take.
I'm not gonna counsel u too much.
Tell u facts, Ur DM control no good, u will die much earlier and not have a good life and be a burden to your loved ones.
That is with certainty.
You want us to help u?
Don't want ah?
Ok , run into problems dun come sue me can liao.
Bye. Collect meds, see u 3 months.
10 minutes can one.
Why stress urself managin his 5 co morbids exploring his ice and whatever movitional interviewing skills?
U got see specialist do any of this?
No right
Why FM need to do.
Rubbish.
Time to let patient have responsibity of their own health.


Ops I got 33 days annual leave , family care leave lei.
That is 6 and a half weeks
MC also clear at least 4 to 5 days a year

I volunteer to go back ns. Sometimes high key, 4 weeks gone
Wisdom tooth extract one, 1 week hl
Left 2 to extract
Go colonoscopy, hl 3 days.
2 years ago go do gd derm, 1 week attach at NSC. song da


Best job is stay in public as a specialist la.
Work hard 10 years
After that 5 years to get senior con
45 years onwards chill liao.
Narrow focus of things to do.
Anything else say u dunno, go ops to get referral

Come ops, I say I dunno
I send u to specialist.
