Rp pay is 7820 per month in the Sponsoring institution that I am working in. Bonus including aws is around 3 mths.
Gdfm is 500 extra per mth. This is what I was offered (not sure if they lowballed me) but I declined as I think can get more in private chain.

Agree with all your OPS points.

Pte cases more simple and acute not always true. But complicated sometimes patient say cannot afford investigations and treatment have to refer to OPS then OPS say you F up dr.
Open clinic and chain become CEO and minister is back in 80s and 90s only
Nasty to patient my foot. You want to get fired? And if own clinic you lose biz and rep
No way man. Kowtow to patients even more than in OPS where at least you follow guidelines someone can still support you. In pte follow guidelines or follow patient ICE?
Multuple problems? In pte chin chueh! Oh by the way hor....this and that. Cost patient money? Nah. They at dispensing will say har this one for what? How much? Ok I dowan. This one? I skip la. Then your clinic staff say dr charge long consult fee they say why so expensive? Just talking only what. Why is there even consult fee at all? Just talking onli.

Obvious you are not a pte GP.

But I agree with you. Stick to OPS. Things have changed now got career path for FMed. Very lucrative.

Pte GP you really got to put on the charm and bend over backwards do what pt likes etc.
Do clinic still have those "special concoctions"? Like for cough got phensedyl 40% bromhexine 40% prednisone 20%?

What is cure for leaky anus?
