No la
Migrainr people die?
Cough and cold people die?
Pregnant lady go ultrasound cos gonna did?
Twisted ankle weber II fracture die?
Colles fracture die?
Depressed get Venlafaxine die?
ADHD get Concerta die?
BPH get Tamsulosin die?
Alopecia get Finasteride die?
Acne vulgaris get Accutane die?
Shingles get Valacyclovir die?
Conjunctivitis get Tobramycin gtts die?
Buttock abscess get I&D die?
Indirect inguinal hernia get herniorraphy die?

All above die meh? If no die means not "saving lives".

Dont use such terms.

The art of medicine is to cure sometimes, to relieve often, to comfort always.”

Very necessary. These days medicine is very technical
And patients are even more demanding for personal service
Way service and treatment is delivered is different.
In fact in some disciplines the role of physician is being challenged
In the future one physician may lead a team of allied HCWs
Nurse practitioners if trained well can do a lot
Pharmacists expand their roles
Primary care might look v different in 20 years time.

Can ask is this is true
Had a friend of friend in the past
Who claimed that it was worthwhile to not serve finish the bond and just pay off the remainder

By working for as a locum - 14 hours a day, 6 to 6.5 days a week
Have such thing?

In the final year of bond final few months can make sense
Cos you calculate how much you earn if work as locum.
Yes hours long but no calls
Call you work how many hours?
Call not working all the time depends what posting also
But you can work out. How much need to pay for remainder of bond?Becomes money wise is break even
But no more calls.
Some people hate calls.

Just like for law? Or it doesn’t matter
