No la. 5% to 10% isn't going to do much when there's always aesthetics available.

OPS patients are more complex and entitled. Plus the number of additional tasks such as HSG enrolment/consults, XYZ Resident's QI, ABC Cluster's new initiative all eat into consult time.

People are sick of seeing patients with 5 issues in a 10 min slot of which 7 mins are usable.

why patient not sick of waiting 6hr to see doc for 10min
i think there is an equilibrium

if ops queue too short, more patients come. then queue become long
you hire 10x more doc, queue become short, more patients come, then queue become long
if your queue already long, then ppl wont go OPS, but go GP, hence keeping queue at length

Ya heard of that from my seniors before I left for private post mmed completion 2 years back. (Never actually worked as a mmeder in ops)
Apparently there are many bonus components, (performance, quality component, corporate/aws, fp junior award etc) - adds up to ard 180-200k/year for a ME (meet expectations) mmed Dr.

They also say performance is tagged to your peers, so if you are an AC, you are compared to the consultant and even senior consultant, hence very hard to get good grading, so pay actually lower after promotion for 1st 1-2 years.

Found all these too complex and variable, hence opted for private, little bonus but higher basic (16.5 k now for
44 hrs/week with 2 nights). Less cognitive stress but no career progression

$16.5k good enough for family four even if spouse is not working. No need slog like hell in ops and hospital.

16.5 k good enough for family of four with spouse not working. Better than slogging in ops and hospital.
