Do HO and MOs really just do patient + customer management and nth else?

Sounds quite sian Sia.

Changes r xiong bro
Begging for scans, going down to radiology
Taking bloods after phelbo left
Doing minor procedure like LP
Writing discharge summaries and summarizing history
Ordering meds
Make blue letter referrals
Referring to allied health

U think is easy, yes it is easy for 1 patient, but not easy when u have 30 in a ward
Will die one

Instead of wasting time talking about medicine, residency, specialization, should look at investing and trading. Make much more money in the short term and can retire and also make more money in the long run.

Don't waste time trying to fool self that helping people and saving lives can get rich. It cannot alone for sure. It might be something to do to get the capital to invest. But if don't invest, don't know how to invest or trade also will end up poor.

Went hard into TSM yesterday with about 100k. Made money doing literally nothing.

Who else will do this for you ?

You expect your con to take blood for you in the ward and write discharge summary ?

Midlevels could do it? In the US, doctors dont do any scut work. Even when i did foundation in the UK as under academic foundation prgram, i rarely did service provision after first 4 months
