Big plans
The plan is to leave out of Singapore in another 1-2 years time.
I recalled once there was a newspaper article stating that Singapore is leaking talent as reported by SM Lee (?) Not that I don't love my own country, I guess I've seen better working conditions, better appreciation from patients and better pay rates in another place. One of the main reasons which I chose to return back in the first place was family and friends. Read: Not working enviroment.
Let me give you another example. Whenever I faced a difficult case, I can approach the Dr for a proper discussion. Over here, high flyer Drs always think their assessment/judgement is right.My views are only just secondary. And of course, there will always be 1 or 2 nice and humble ones around but rare.
Hospitals seem to be focusing more on 'prompt service & affordable (another alternative to 'cheap') healthcare. Is managing a hospital much similar to a 5 star hotel? Is it really necessary? Why are we doing so much and yet trying to keep healthcare costs at a reduced level?
Ironically, isn't this accomdating to the public's concept on ''ai pee ai qi'' (in hokkien, want cheap and fast)
On the lighter note, I've been dating with Mr POW for the last couple of months.
For the sake of being together, I may not be able to return to my favorite place anymore...
It is a hard decision. There is still some time left though.
