When I left for Canada , I was also leaving medicine.
But somehow I got back in. And I am back in that kind of rut of money is good in medicine, (in fact it is very good here in Canada), life is good (it is very good), but it still doesn't mean I like practicing medicine. In fact I hate it.
So yeah when I am at work the unhappiness festers. I am glad I left Singapore. Life as a doctor here is still better than life as a doctor in Canada.
So it is not so much I miss Singapore, but the more you people slam doctors I can tell myself even though I am not so happy being a doctor, better I am a doctor in Canada than in Singapore. As my wife says, which doctor in Singapore goes home by 430pm and works only Mon to Fri? Goes skiing every weekend. Has a big house, 3 cars and no debt or mortgage?
So yeah life is good lah. Just I don't like being a doctor.
