Hows attrition in jan this year?

Hope for April during financial year

That's what they told us 1 year ago. LoL

Even if it doesnt materialise for april 2024
We should Hope for April 2025

Ops Guys we musnt give up hope! We must continue to
Have faith in our ops leadership

Guys let us sing to the tune of when you believe

Many nights we pray with no proof anyone could heart
And our heart's a hopeful song we barely understood
Now we are not afraid although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long before we knew we could

Agree with your post, but I don't think fm more popular than eye la.
Another thing to note is that if feel fm is still being looked down by some of my peers/colleagues in hospital.
At least that felt like the case when I was rotating through the posting during my residency years 4 years back. Some of the profs still feel like fm is a dumping ground (younger consultants are ok in general, always got exceptions of course)

I have since left for private last year. I must say that many of my batch who chose not to do fcfp also left eventually (some left after mmed, most serve for 1-3 years before leaving)
While not essential, it seems to be a hidden/unspoken rule that fcfp is required if you plan to stay in ops long term nowadays (long term means planning to retire in ops/public sector)
- I mean mmed is like a registrar qualification. I guess if you ask the hospital drs, do people want to stay as a staff reg/rp/hospital clinician for life, many will say no too.

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve?
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

Can share how you are now bro/sis?

got a few hours but seem like lowballs 😓

I'm at that FCFP bridge.. Not sure to take or not. Sian.

How's life in private ah?
Hired or u run own clinic?
I want to take the jump but scared.


I just turn ac
To be honest life not too bad.
Some weeks worse than others but I got lots of leave.
I attend course and cme on company time.
I earn sufficiently. Cannot huat with bunglow but ok lo, buy car buy house no problem.
Want second property stress a bit but doable.
I like the hours. 5 pm scoot out and go home.
I like the teaching. I know and have enuff experience now to teach the finer points of medicine to residents

Work is becoming v routine though
Nothing medical really intrigues me anymore
Listen a bit I know why liao, and lately I realise I don't have patience for patient
It's like brother, no need tell me grandmother story la...I know what's wrong with u.
Let me manage u and get the f out so I can see the next patient.

FM worldwide is always being look down one la.
Most countries FM just stand firm.
Only Singapore they go gyrate with sab wanting to gain recognition
何必做贱自己. Should tell them go fly kite.

For Singapore I dun blame hospitalist to look down on FM
Polyclinic was filled with really cmi rps and gdfm that anyhow one
Even now I shake head at the stupid management of some of my rps
讲不通， 骂不理.。
End up we have to spend extra time to undo the misunderstanding and wrong management.

The beyond hospital mandate is killing FM for sure
Everything also push to FM
My residents find their future bleak and I don't blame them
I've been telling them if u got no speed, don't plan to work in poly
Straight go GP , or train in pall, sports , rehab or go comm hospital

AC just stay in le ba. The pay as a salaried public AC vs private GP is very comparable.
