Our Healthcare System Is on the Brink of a Crisis. The Solution Won't Make Us Very Happy.

Anyone agrees this was a terrible article? Almost written to bash Singaporeans for being xenophobic hahaha in a long winded and therefore gentle way. We can tackle this, just triple intake so that its not only white horses that got interviewed.

But when supply goes up, be prepared for costs to go down. Even your specialist field stuff will become cheaper cuz u cant force all med grads to not specialise. It happened in law, where the 100 odd intake a year became 800.

Aside from tt uncle speak from life experience. Med sch in SG confirm got spaces for white horse candidates. Its a small community.

20 years ago, in my class, all of us got straight As. The kinder HDB living parents guys ended up chasing medical degrees overseas (ironically paying more than the white horse kids) after getting grilled fucking hard during the interviews. We know fellers with B's where the interviews were rubber stamps where they chit chat about shadowing programs and internships with known professors (aka pull strings). Tripling intake would therefore give the heartlander kia that burned to get straight As a better chance to become doctor.

Anyone peddling a bs excuse for lack of facilities is probably not questioning the lack itself. So many buildings, cannot get equipment or staff? In fact why cannot double the usage of an existing building, just stagger timings etc. Personallg, i think this smells like protectionism from old folk fellers who arent burning on the front lines. They have bigger fish to fry than some juniors suffering 48 hour shifts like how to make sure they still earn 5m a year hahahaha.
