How is life as a doctor in Singapore?

Any point in signing up as a RP in surgical disciplines in the public hospitals? Or better off going private

I though this has been discussed to death?
Certain specialities can la.
Ortho, ent ok but they are likely not busy enuff to need rp
Go do GS RP is do till die lor
At least the mo got chance become resident, the resident got chance become consultant.
You as a rp forever bore the grunt of the department but no benefit

No recognition
No dignity
No good pay
Do calls
Go home late
Come early
Still have to buy junior cofeee

They just throw u to where manpower is needed
Lots of referral for scopes?
U become a scoping machine but not paid extra for it unlike the consultant who does it.
Simple surgery like appendicitis u do, but no table fee like consultant
Weekend round, u come
Holiday come u round becuase resident got protected time.

Resident from your junior become your peer than become your boss.

Sian bo?

Go out private gp life also not hard
Patient mostly want MC nia.
U anyhow as long as don't stupid like give methotrexate like some heroe GP no one will die
Dunno refer to polyclinic
Not sure refer to a&e

Ain't life grand?

Life is SO GRAND!!!!! wow!
Yeah pte GP the best
MMed OPS also good
Dont be RP.
Got the message.

Does anyone here think there will come a day where gdfm won't be recognised on the FM register anymore? I.e to be FP must have mmed or above?

Similarly, will there be a day where ops will only employ mmed and above for full time positions, and that all gdfmers will be asked to leave? My gdfm friends in ops tell me they have been "strongly encouraged" to doing programme b (in public, usually that means no choice la). Was wondering if these people fail their exam (X3 times) will they be asked indirectly to leave one day?

Inevitable.

But likely they will grandfather those who precede the new
Requirements.

I guess will always have dedicated servants to public sector. I am just wondering with residency increasing intake yearly, will the term gdfm FP/senior FP/principal FP (I.e the non AC FP track for gdfmers) become obsolete in the future?
