7.5 k is temp, will be 11k plus.

I know is low compared to yrs but at least me and hubby have networth of 4 mil now.

Your networth will prob be higher.

I couldn't take the litagatious risk of doing Aesthetics, saw dome PPP Drs get sued by clients.

Can share what were they being sued for? Was there any negligence (i.e harm to patient) or is it just poor cosmetic outcomes?

Poor cosmetic outcomes, uneven complexion.

Just saw new moh circular today. MC must show name and MCR now. Wondering how it will affect the locum market

Suddenly see many slots popping up for tonight

Thing is being sued is fine as long as u practice good medicine and patient safety nothing will come of it. You can’t sue ur doc just because a previously mentioned risk happened

Ya, so now, patients are made to sign a disclaimer, acknowledging all risks.

Still it is a stressful thing to be sued.

So now MOH employees will not dare to moonlight as locums anymore?

I appreciate RMG for being flexible. They wanted me to work nights but agreed to 8 hrs a day as I have breast CA. Arranged for 10am to 8pm working hrs and in the end, agreed to let me remain in office hrs as couldn't fit 10 to 8. So phew, no nights and sat whole day for me anymore.

Also allowed me one afternoon off a week which I appreciate for my rest, errands and med appt.

They also have employee share options which is a nice gesture.

Also I appreciate Sg's healthcare subsidies very much. My bil mastectomy and reconstruction only cost me S$17, rest covered by subsidies, medishield insurance and company. Original S$40k plus.
In private without insurance is S$200k.

Also appreciate my classmate HOD who helped me get a speedy op and to be looked after by HOD in oncology as well.
