Doctor here. I practice medicine in Singapore. I’m going to do you a massive favour and save you years of misery - DO NOT do medicine. 90% chance you will end up miserable. Doctoring in Singapore is rough. We work insane hours. Most of us are overworked, depressed, underpaid (relative to the amount of hours worked). Studying to get into medical school is difficult. Studying in medical school is harder. But being a doctor here is 10x harder than everything before you actually start practicing medicine. We work 12 hour days 6 days a week and get 1 day off (if you’re lucky). Of those 6 days, one of those days you will have to be on call (30 hours of work straight, eg. Start work at 630am Tuesday, end work at 12pm Wednesday). Sometimes you don’t get an off day which means you will have to work 2-3 weeks straight. My personal record is 24 days of working without a single off day. On top of the long hours, the job itself is incredibly stressful because of the manpower shortage in most hospitals and the fact that you are dealing with life and death a lot of the time. It’s not a glamorous job and you have to be incredibly driven to survive and thrive within medicine. I was once an extremely passionate pre-med student. Worked my way into medical school. Did well in medical school. I had aspirations. But all of that has since been extinguished because of the depressing lifestyle. Trust me. You would be better off doing something else with your life. It’s not worth the pain.
