reading the long list of problems itself already takes a few minutes.. ordering meds properly at least 1 minute.

im not sure if manadr patients are as complicated as polyclinic follow up patients. plus the fact that physical exam cant be done shaves off a lot of time.
dont think its really that difficult... so far no patient has ever suffered due to lack of doctor time. they get the correct diagnosis, correct meds. if ever there was such a thing we would already have heard of it either via social media or hospitals (e.g if patient misses some meds and go into crisis) might conduct an inquiry into the issue

Yes manadr was terrible and rightly sanctioned but I am more concerned about the legal implications for telemed moving forward.
Manadr cases were less than 1 minute and not 2 minutes. Please keep that in mind.

MOH may have been open to telecons to try out innovation. And also to trust qualified doctors to do their due diligence.

Now MOH is likely to impose more prescriptive rules.

Moonlighting with Telecon while on active duty was really bad.

And it had to happen when MOH was relaxing the rules.

Not quite sure what you meant in the last sentence. Was moh planning to relax the rules on moonlighting initially?

Young MO here. Will be moving to aesthetics soon. Already have all my COCs as i’ve been working towards this since med school days. Have a 15k offer to start but a lot of the seniors are making a lot more for doing more or less the same job. Am I being shortchanged here?

Demand and supply

When your senior was in the market there was a lot less supply than demand

Now everyone is jumping into the bandwagon

Not realising one day when it all crumbles they will have forgotten everything else apart from botox and lasers
