Tbh, U know I know la, if can make it, most don't break bond and would train in something, even public medicine.
I've seen some pretty driven folks who want to do gp business from the get go.
Even they stay around and do rotations in paediatrics, ops, gen med, a&E , derm etc to learn the ropes because year 1 or 2 break bond? What do these folks know man..don't even trust them to treat an urti.
Most of your bond breakers are jaded Mo who can't get into training, lost interest in doctoring etc and wants to do nothing to advance themselves but can't really find anything that readily pays them 200k a year. Break bond and become private gp lo.
Private specialist might not easily make 4 to 5 times a GP salary la
Ur rheumatologist where got 1 million salary? Ditto for quite a fair bit of medical specialist
Even ur non interventional cardiologist will struggle to rake in a million from consultation alone.
My neighbourhood got a cardio clinic in the HDB. I every morning walk by , clinic no one de while the gp clinic few shops away busting with people. I dun see how the cardio clinic can out earn the gp clinic.

It’s not about getting into training, it’s about surviving through residency and having the delayed gratification.
It’s easy to say, but hard to do when you are actually in it. I myself dropped out of GS residency to go into aesthetics, and I know many other batchmates who also dropped out after their bond.
Sure a specialist earns more in the long run, but that’s after at least 10 years of hard slog in public.
Something not many people can endure these days, especially with attractive opportunities in stock and housing market
