I'm selling general insurance and drive 10 years old honda city only.
if drive masili or BM, people will think i earn a lot from them.
Anyway i also cannot afford masili.
nowdays most people buy insurance online. prefer support big company instead small agent like me.

the problem with the industry is , people are afraid of being asked to buy policies that benefit the agents rather than them

for example if someone has a lot of money usually the agents will ask them to buy some ILP.

the ILP comms are high.

already kena myself. one amoi ask me buy when she was at OCBC

then later she became independent, she asked me to buy another one, and said the previous one was sh1t

this made me question her integrity

Not uncommon to not eat at all the whole day during housemanship. Maybe can eat things you pack in your pocket. People here really clueless about work in hospitals and sukak sukak comment.

clinic profit because they mark up the medications. it is not the only way they earn, but one of the main and most common.

if up to the consultation fee, so little only.

clinic also earn with medical report, procedures, ultrasound, blood tests, nebuliser etc. all this cannot get elsewhere, except maybe blood test pharmacy also doing nowadays. Nebuliser fluid actually sell at pharmacy, along with the gas machine. But if self do but dunno how to mix with salt water and when to repeat dose, probability to mampus at home also. Clinic do because most doctor trained at emergency department, it is bread and butter service.

clinic with lots of knowledge for procedures especially ultrasound sure earn one.

Duh who duno? The difference is Doctors spent at least 500k to study medicine and countless hours studying their hearts out

Do other business owners spend the same amount to study?
Yes every street has a clinic, what makes the difference between a successful cclinic and a failed one is the doctor.

Ppl will only go to doctors who they trust . If the doctor lacks the soft skills to deal with patients, confirm their clinic will fail even though they have the knowledge.

Being a Dr is not just about being a Dr. Its all about how the doctor talks to the patient, how they make their patients feel good about themselves.

Being a Dr is also a salesjob. U are basically selling your skillset to patients. Whether patients buy your story depends on how good your present yourself

I have been to sorry to say some type M clinics where the doctor is wearing a working shirt and pants but wearing slippers. Besides , he looks like he is there to just make a quick buck. After consulting me, he straight away ran out of the clinic to do something.

These are the clinics which i will ban for life

why is wearing slippers an issue for u?

You are a doctor. Dress properly la. Stop making the clinic look like your home.

In professional line, image is very important

Do u know how much it costs to setup a clinic? A basic ultrasound machine costs RM50k.

All in you are looking at 500k for a basic clinic and 1m for a nicer looking clinic with more equipment.

U calculate la how many years required to break even, that is if they survive the period la

If you're not profiteering from meds, why you scared to display your prices 😜

Unker is very much happier to pay a good doctor very lucrative fees. Unker doesn't mind to pay for experience doctors.
Unker is very agitated with stupid doctors pretending to be nice and refuse to refer their cases to someone more senior than himself.
Unker is angry with unqualified human with parents' money , getting medical licence from some shady (but approved) medical institution which Singapore does not recognise.
Stop churning out idiots who are going to make their patients worse off.

is it a slipper or clogs

clogs and scrubs very common in hospital, because the doctor moving around ward to ward and easier to do procedure

but if clinic, yes, better wear proper office attire with shoes. All those specialist at pantai/kpj etc for sure will never be caught wearing slipper in their clinic. GP doctor wear slipper not good for their image and image of outpatient care as a whole.
