I said this all the time and I don't mind stressing it again.

DO NOT STUDY MEDICINE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A KIND HEART.

A DOCTOR IS A RESPECTED PROFESSION.

IF YOUR MOTIVATION IS MONEY, TRY DOING BUSINESS.

you r right, i totally agree with you.. Bump the quote.

yeah,i scared when the time i graduate MD already like salesman
i'm finish 2nd year this coming end of june..
is it true that newspaper discourage ppl take medic? chinese news paper or star?

By year 2015 to 2020, we will have enough doctors ( not sure about quality tho..) The target ratio of 1:600 doctors: patient will be achieve. Now there are so many places offering medicine, I am not sure what kind of doctors will we have in the future... but i am hopping for the best.

If u are thinking of doing medicine, here is something to think about.

Now when u graduate as a doctor, u are ensure a job in the government cos we lack doctors. The private sector is saturated, so gone are the days when u can just apply for a post and draw your 10k salary. For example, when a private hospital open up a post for a specialist recently , 20-30 specialist applied for it.

So fast forward to 2015, when u graduate, there will be so many doctors applying for a post in government hospitals. I have a feeling they will no longer be "automatic" given a job. Only the best will be selected. It make sense right?
So if u think doctors have very stable jobs, glamorous, and rich.... think again.

Gone are the days being doctors are rich, famous and secure. Do medicine only if u have interest.
