But I'm making average 20k a mth, plus cpf and annual leave , personal insurance and malpractice etc all of which oneself pay own self in my own practice
All in all, I give myself a value of 25k per mth or 300k a year
Assume i rent a place at 15k
Staff 8k
Fix cost already ( 15 +8) x12 = 276k
Plus my basic 300k already 576k


I think taking the plunge is not worth it unless I can earn say 1.5 times my current value.
Eg 450k.
Means revenue needs to be close to 700k
Add 100k for ulities , med , gloves , cleaning lady, IT
Annual revenue need 800k

Work polyclinic hours 8 to 5 v hard in such climate very hard la
Have to work evenings.
Now competition so much
Forces into nehr and healthier SG and part of PCN become a mini polyclinic anyway

Might as well stay right?

I don't see patient every day.
Got protected time
Got admin time
Got teaching time
Got meeting time
Got workgroup time
Sometimes go teach apn
Sometimes go teach lkc
Sometimes go teach nus
Sometimes go become gdfm or osce assessor

Got mc time. Sometimes take a mental health day because v long no clear mc
Got family care leave as well.
Got course to take few times a year
Recent wonca 2.5 days off work.
Your making 20k a month excluding bonuses, allowances and CPF? That’s great bro so that’s what a 300k annual comp as an AC? Is there any room for further career growth? Let’s say u clear fcfp etc
