How is life as a doctor in Singapore?

See urti sell MC , pseudo meds like leftose with a course of standby augmentin nets u more money.

normal to feel u cannot pass at R3 level. Trust me , R4 time u will suddenly improve a lot one.

what's up with the GPs in this thread? Find it amusing that they keep assuming that residents / m.medders cannot survive in the real world. No need to keep harping like a broken record man. Macham like the buay tak chek kids keep telling everyone they are street smart and will make it big in the real world while the booksmart kid not flexible in life and will just farm their 4K salary after university degree.

Thats right, OPS is the future! GP is the past.
Go get your weekend allowance.
I better not hear anyone who wants to quit ops.

Can share what is this weekend allowance pls ?
Seems unfair my cluster doesnt give

Anyways, what is everyone opinion on healthier sg
I find it challenging from a Gps pt on view to manage the complicated ones , but the well controlled shld be pretty fast and straight forward. I wonder if that means all the complicated ones will be left in poly

Complicated ones come ops.
Still give u 10 minutes per patient.
How do ops doctor cope? Chin chye lo.
Last time with simple case still can rob Tim's time to save John.
With healthier sg, gp take all the simple case
Complicated one left to ops 10 minutes each.
And how many complicated cases can ops doctor see a day?
Very chuan to see 1 already.
1 day u give me 10, I give up liao.

End up become unhealthier overall.
Simple one already well controlled. Give cm see also no problem
Uncontrolled one now no one save them.

Govt should promote this service more and also apply subsidies
Let the GPs FPs deal with complex cases especially mental health
Also develop Nurse Practitioners services.
Drs are too expensive.

How much is MOH paying a GP for healthier SG goals? eg complete health plan, screening etc, anyone working can shed light?

For gp land, is it generally better to join a large established corporate group (e.g rmg, health way, parkway, Fullerton etc) or smaller groups (with maybe just 2-3 clinic branches) in terms of money/workload/career wise?

I feel that joining a smaller group- you have a higher chance of things like profit sharing etc

Is MMED becoming obsolete?

MBBS earn more than us
GP earn more than us
Healthier SG doesnt need to have mmed
We see more complex patients, less time, earn less

Why do MMED?
