Unbelievable right? Seriously is not CSB. Is real.

But I guess these types of opportunities are very rare.

I have to remind myself how lucky I am some days. But I also worked for it.

There is much more to develop in my field. I also am co-investigator for upcoming research Phase III trial.

My friend of friend told me his doctor friend works 6.5 days as GP in a local clinic chain, can hit $15K a month. Is this true?

Agree. Maybe 20 years ago ok.
Today's standards really disappointing.
Median salaries at big tech companies is around 250k.

He told me he was paid locum rates. Didn’t really get him, but he seemed very satisfied and was saying if he could, he would work more, since he’s paid by the hour.

15k a month. 6.5 days a week. How many hours a day?

8h a day would be only $72/hr.

6h a day would be $96/hr

I thought current rates are $120/hr?

So he working 4.8h a day?

Hi’ anyone do Tele consult with DA before? Can share your experience? Need GP knowledge or not? And is the load high? Overall pleasant job or don’t recommend? Haha

Need MMED knowledge. Load is very high. Overall pleasant.

Anyone know what is the market rate for excision biopsy of lump over finger in the private derm sector?
I have a small (0.5 mm) lump over my finger, looks like pyogenic granuloma, keen for excision. I think most likely can do under LA.
Unfortunately derm appt with restructured hospital is like 2mths away- even for self referrals (i.e private rate), so thinking of private derm now.
