If you enjoy running a business why not open your own clinic and be your own boss . Ive seen a few RPs who left with me who are now clinic owners . This whole mmed concept is really a polyclinic issue . Honestly patients dont care , they just want a caring and empathetic doctor who listens and treats their issues . Its all about patient satisfaction which will bring in moolah as well. You do not need an mmed to make patients happy

In fact , ive realised that some mmed doctors actually have low EQ when talking to patients , some are robotic and not very good listeners

Where got lots of admin for u to do in reality.
U clinic head then lots of admin but u given time.

My junior write medical report I just vet as senior.
I buddy buddy with operations they sometimes pass me single visit
Medical report eg, rta to do. 10 minute finish liao. 55 bucks.
SAG people sometimes rope u in for something.
Trick is to don't commit, send email , ask people to do. One working item can fly around for months.
Ok one la.
Maybe once in a while need write some guidelines. Ok la.
Got 2 hour meeting let boss know one whole morning block for u.
Can come in a bit later, drink coffee clear email while wait for meeting to start.

200k u get quite early on la.
U hit AC get a nice bump.
I 430 leave work. 530 at home watch Netflix liao. Sometimes squeeze in a jog too
If stress a bit , text boss for a MC aka mental health day tml
Clinic still run. U try to do that in private lo. See what happens.


I find it funny pple like to say private gp huat.
Confirm is no run private clinic before.
Manage staff is headache.
Paper work for tpa headache.
Buy medicine stocktake headache.
Neg rent headache.
That's way harder admin work.
Have to be nice to patient for return visit. Sometimes u feel like a prositute
In ops I just roll my eyes at idiots. No need be so nice.
I know of at least 2 guys whose clinic didn't take off.
Struggle for 3 to 5 years liao is just earn a wage nia.
1 guy doing quite well but he damn burnt out. I think he even more cynical about life than me.
Where got make millions so easily. So funny. U really think so easy?

Well if it's lower than 200k, it further accentuates the OP point. How much does one value money? To be honest, you could potentially argue that even on 100-150k/year you won't starve in Singapore, but question is always -- is that ENOUGH to keep you satisfied?

you can already tell which cluster this is.
430? half day block? 200k pay?

maybe there should be transparency which clusters pays what and ends whst time.
for the benefit of the juniors.

join different cluster 60k pay raise?
