How is life as a doctor in Singapore?

From a govt budget and overall cost to society of gdp spending point of view it would be better to cap how much drs earn. Pay too much then costs are too high. It is a burden.

At the same time we want good quality care. Non procedural work is actually something that migjt not require such intense training and high remuneration.

Is having pte GPs earning more money good for society? I dont think so. Good for the GP. Not good for patients and society and MOH. Cos MOH will have to compete with them for the drs. Unless they find alternatives like proper NPs. Not they ones we have currently but sending some senior nurses on HMDP equivalent to US UK Oz Canada to train with NPs. Come back and develop proper NP program.

Another new category is Physician Assistants. Many come from the Military. They are senior medics that work closely with the MO. See soldiers and diagnose and investigate and prescribe. MO signs off. Post military they work in civilian. Function like drs but paid less.

Is probably about the cost of hiring those FTs from India. Or less.
Something to consider.

If ur np is lousy is coz u don’t know how to teach

Can I check if it is better to join larger chain groups like raffles/parkway/healthway etc
Pay might be lower but I guess less stressful as target/kpi easier to hit, and usually these groups already have a fixed pool of pts/customers..

Not silly. I was so busy and having such roaring business I ran out of it.

Once so desperate I tot I will take down my toilet paper medical degree to use too
