they all say the same things, so i don't bother to read their hype....

the degree is no different from pmc's, which has been around for 15 years, so it's nothing special...

in addition, it is a well known fact that irish med schools are degree mills for would be doctors from around the world who failed to enter their own med schools, americans particularly....

Some old but interesting news from outside~

I wonder who else clicks on these links.

Me me

CyberSetan always post interesting stuff

it is silly to have 'rural' mbbs....there cannot be 2 categories of 'doctors'....

india's problem, like most other countries, is maldistribution....with rural areas under served....

they can do rural bonding, like the aussie rural bonded csp places.....but the training programme should be the same....

another solution is training paramedical personnel to run rural clinics, like what msia is doing.....

I doubt a rural mbbs grad will introduce himself as a rural GP. Plus, it will be a nightmare to "regulate" if the rural GP decides to move to the inner city!

Personally I dont mind serving in rural areas. I think the Internet + cheap domestic airfares + higher priority to do specialization & extra allowances made it even better.

rural does NOT mean some place you need to fly to....

Is Kuala Selangor / Sabak Bernam considered rural?

Is there a ideal number of patient a GP should see in a day ?
Went to a popular GP recently and the number at midday was 60 over hence he would be seeing at least 100 patients as he opens until 8pm.

Charges including medicine range from 30 to 100.Take a mid-range of RM45.00 @100 patients and one day rest a week, he should be grossing RM1.35m a year.Net before tax should be RM 1m after expenses.

ROI is 1 year if you are a good GP. Specialists earn even more ?

you are committing the common fallacy of extrapolating the exception to the general....

my laksa man also sell 300 bowls a day.....guess what happens if i try to open another laksa stall nearby....?

It means taking a 4 wheel, follow by a boat ride and a motor boat and no tv access.

After sitting there waiting for 3 hours.....the best thing to do is to guess what is the income of this good GP.

Certainly agree just like any other professions and business some will always do very well.

But wife was saying how good if kids could become doctors and would be happy if they did half of the volume...ROI 2years.

I've come to terms with the fact that ROI in monetary sense has become irrelevant. It may be my I, but definitely not my R.

Maybe RR!

RR = Rental Return? It better not be anything to do with my (increased) Respiratory Rate!

Positive thinking leh.

I wonder how many malaysians went to oz for med earlier this year, and to UK this september. Just met someone whose relative is holding a UCL conditional.

there are always more students to uk than oz, simply due to the number of places available...

i also know someone with a ucl conditional....wonder if its the same person....

The probability is very high.

Re places, I guess it's due to the number of medical schools in the UK, and save for one or two, they all still offer undergraduate med degrees.
