I don’t think so. the surgeon simply has much more sacrifices and takes on much more risk. Deserves to be paid more. Same for proxedurist + they generate more revenue we live in a practical economy

I’m a pretty good student i think id be able to score a distinction even in a name brand school so i think i’m gonna go for that. Probably pick kcl cos it’s 5 years and i want exposure to the london teaching hospitals

Most people who end up in medicine are pretty good students.

It can be eye opening when you realise that many are much better than you lol

Ya, I was a good student too, scoring 8A1 and 2 A2 in O level and 4 As and A1 for GP and Merit for S Maths...but was quite average in Medicine. Scoring all Cs and 1D for anatomy.

Bought more Nvidia when it went down, now positive.

Rest of stocks are SGX blue chips, don't have to worry. Like UOB, DBS and SGX, small lot of RMG stocks (given by company)

Actually I think the Singaporean students tend to do well in the UK. Not as competitive as SG lol. Even in top med schs e.g Imperial KCL
