I've done both. MNC gives you a brand name that opens doors forever, plus proper processes you can learn and carry anywhere. SME gives you r…
After years of trial and error, here's my decision rule. Go to a PRIVATE GP when: it's a simple acute thing (flu, cough, minor infection, MC…

Regular JB-goer here, worth it IF you play the timing game, brutal if you don't. My rules: go on a weekday if you can, never Saturday mornin…
