Pte sector may benefit though. Give it a few years.

Your faith is obviously blind and you are naive.
Historically OPS Fam Med was always the pits. This change is just a passing phase.

Procedures will be affected in public as with capitation model, budget are fix. the more u do worse.
I think IM specialist in hospital will benefit. Reduce referals and investigations. Will help hospital cut cost
At the end of the day, dont cut cost for the hospital until the admin pockets bleed and try to tekan the doctors.

Correct.
People think IM is general specialist. Wrong.
The true General Specialist is FM.
Do IM drs do vaginal speculum exams if patient has vaginal bleeding? No right? Will refer to O&G.

Seriously in SG the MMed Fam Med manage obstetrics patients all the way? Deliver and also post partum?

Sure or not? I know FRACGP and CCFP they do that.
The obstetrics unit has FPs and Obs. NVD cases and simple cases needing vacuum the FP will handle as it is their patient. But can request consult from Obs if needed. If need C section then Obs will take over.

Mmed got so good at Obs meh?

what talking u.
mmed FM do the c sec themselves. calling obs for such minor issue is a sign of weakness.
more than a few times preggies came to ops to deliver. sometimes too late to send and we just settle on the spot.
charge them 13.8 only somemore.

Wah! MMed FM jin satki!
OPS got OR these days?
Can MMed FM also do M&R for Colle's fracture? Bier's block?
Sounds like OPS now is like regional ER or trauma centre in rural areas in NA, Aus, UK, Canada.
No wonder pay so high!
