Most patients know me as TC Tan (My initials). A busy Deliveryman 24 / 7 (Almost like Grab!)
I wanted a profession that is meaningful and can help humanity.
I am an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Pregnancy is the most miraculous process and I am most glad to join my patients in their journey of being new parents. The joy of getting pregnant and going through delivery is so indescribable. Simply awesome.
There is NO work-life balance as an OBGYN. I am devoted to my patients 24/7. My handphone is with me 24/7, even when I am resting/sleeping. I haven’t gone to watch a movie or concert for years.
My goal is to make pregnancy safer and more patient-centric. My wish-list is to add an element of remote monitoring of pregnancy care at the comfort of their home or when patients travel. Stillbirth or intrauterine death is still topmost worry of all pregnant mothers.
Covid crisis is certainly the biggest challenge in my medical career. It has changed many aspects of healthcare. From infection control to telemedicine, we will never be the same again.
Every birth is a highlight of my career. I cherish the moment I deliver every baby and hand the precious baby to the parents. That moment is magical.
Find a specialty that will keep you passionate for the rest of your life. That is the only way to keep the fire in you burning. Don’t think of the dollars and cents.
Reading…also on continual medical education (unfortunately)
Please join me at www.pregnancy.com.sg
My colleagues and I have curated snippets of accurate medical information to make pregnancy safer and more fun. I am so honoured that we already have 65K viewers since we started in 2018!
