Anything that has password you got to have an account or permission to access regardless if you are given the password or you ask the clinic assistant. Why you worry about such idiot things? Maybe it is indeed idiot proof. LOL

pat went hospital, dunno die or went to ICU, family complain. I think was just asthma attack or something
he got found out and censured , copy names from various clinic he locum at and drag everyone down

that's how vicious Indians snakes are. own fault still drag everyone down. on a dark night between a cobra and a similing Indian , I'll take my chance with the cobra.

anyway, just locum a bit la. find some more ulu clinic footfall a bit lower. approach the anchor/owner say u want gain experience and looking at long term commitment.
remember, if the anchor or guy is an Indian, avoid at all cost. if not, u die , rot till left bone also dunno why.
always becareful of ur India Indian and Malaysian colleagues. smile hide dagger.

u no insurance coverage btw..that something a lot of us fail to neglect.
if found out , u no breach any legalitly, only breach contractual terms, so no long term consequence.

gxgx. next time open clinic chain, then CEO of health company and finally pap minster dun forget me ah. treat me drink Milo Peng.

Quite scary some of the FT drs, not sure if their MBBS is real or Uptron type.

Rp salary is quite okie now 7.9k.
You must too high, then gpland complain that polyclinic price outside gpland

Honestly 7.9k basic (no nights, no sun, half day sat) very worth it

haha most clinics that hire locums have relatively experienced CAs who are used to easing locums into the job. so you shouldnt need to worry about these!

the EMRs are relatively idiot proof.
you might want to take a quick look at the formulary available to see what the common meds are so you can just order them up quickly when needed.

If RP GDFM in OPS is paid $7.9k + $500 + 4 months bonus. Is FP MMed in OPS being paid slightly more?

To move from FM to AC is time based + FCFPS right? In this case +/- 3years after MMed can hit AC.

If AC in OPS and AC in GM/Geri in restructured hospital is the same pay. I think overall still quite worth it leh. I see alot AC taking up appointments as Dy head and teaching duties. All these give additional allowance also. Should have no issues matching the generalist in the hospital isnt it? I would expect an AC to not run clinic everyday and would be able to spread workload - clinical, admin and teaching. Like this quite holistic and quite a good deal vs 15k in GP clinic having to work weekends and nights and boring routine cough cold sore throat running nose.
