Depends on what you want in life.
Some people are happy rolling in cash all the way doing simple jobs.

Some people get a sense of achievement rising up the ranks.
Doing sth different.

So… whatever floats your boat. No right or wrong.

Men aside, the feeling of being under anesthesia is quite fascinating. And perhaps something was injected into me before the mask was put over my face? That drug made me really happy haha haven't felt sth like that before.

The first thought I had when I woek up was that I should join healthcare. I think the job gives everyone a sense of responsibility and of being needed.

👍 positive review from a day surgery patient haha
You should also see a psych while you're exploring career options in healthcare.

U become their slave lo
Seconded to a sector and goes around clinic to fill spots until maybe a bit of credentials then let us try anchor a clinic.
10.8k is their sign on for 45 hours a week. Annual about 130k.
Lunch time not counted hor.
Must have weekend and night shift

Don't even think about bonus.
14 days of leave a year. I think they add on 2 days every 3 years of service or something till max 21 days
Sat leave is full day unless take 1 week leave.

Can sponsor u do gdfm or gd om. Comes with bond. If u gung ho m.med also can.

Anchor come with anchor stress. U get wonderful email highlighting your prescribing patterns with suggestion on how to prescribe to improve bottom line.
Don't hit target out you go. The CEO want upgrade bunglow give u target to hit u better hit, don't hit out you go.

Raffles good if u no primary care exp, go there learn ropes for few years. If u can get rp ship with polyclinic actually salary same with overall better benefits. Just that pat load higher in day time but every evening u are home

Aiya. Struggle in public few years and become specialist la. After that song song .

Smaller chain pays better but u have to hit the ground running which after 5 years as a hospital mo, u can't one. Your experience as locum can only prepare u so much. Locum no responsibility , as long as patient dun die or complain to SMC , u ok. in gp land with Ur own clinic , u anyhow patient really dun come back one and you swat flies lo. Very soon u close or pple show u the door.
Expect about 12 to 15k for the other chains, but they offer less personal development.

Dun look to gp as the way out la. Now not good time to be gp. You go see SMC report, the additional of private gp number is really small. Market v tight. Chronic disease u cannot fight polyclinic price, complicated condition patient want specialist or go polyclinic also. u left to do acute condition and then kenna squeeze by TPA, landlord and competition. New entrants very hard.

Listen to old uncle here and tong in hospital, somehow get into a training, anything. You finish any LJ specilaissation even occupation med or psy u will be miles ahead of the hired gp. If cannot, look for , hospital clinician job , community hospital rp job slowly work up. Can do data analytics, health informatics stuff etc. The essence is to look for 8 to 5 job and no calls. If need to round early or do overnight call ask them go fly kite.
Most rp starts about 8k, add on a post grad 1k more and annually u nearly 120 to 130k Liao. Same salary, more time on your hands , 10am drink cofeee , no evening work and recession free. Annual leave 26 days, Christmas and cny additional half day. Can attend conference , claim ptf. Medical insurance cme practicing certificate employer settle for u. Private gp all this u settle Ur self priming
