Sometimes I also wonder if one should take a leap of faith and try something new (can be GP land, open clinic or a different industry) - i.e pivoting your career (something very common outside of medicine but hardly seen within healthcare in general)
Isn't that for every other job also?
I wished my grand father left me 3 freehold shophouse collecting 30k in rent each month so I don't have to work lo then I can work for leisure.
A lot of other non medical jobs are more demanding and pay less
Other speciality not easy also.
Radiology for example, need to read 20 plain film an hour
U try doing that for 8 hours every day lo.
Surgeons come early, end late.
Middle of the night have to go back
