Most of my batch who stay in ops eventually keen to do fcfp and climb, coz it gets them out of the daily grind of seeing pts. Very few people who choose to stay do clinical alone.

Seeing simple cases is easier. The strange thing is there is no appropriate increase in time allowed for complicated cases or an increase in the fees for same.
It is also ironic that all these highly qualified senior family doctors are looking at moving away from clinical work.
Goes to show how low Family Medicine has fallen or already was to begin with.
Unfortunately the reality is reform is not coming to Family Medicine. For one's own sake, it is best to find areas to specialize in.
