re: #299 Cato the Elder

Or maybe it’s because Britain is an open society with great universities and medical schools?

Last time I went to the hospital it seems I remember there were a lot of furrin’ docs here, too.

No, the doctors were trained in Pakistan, Nigeria and Czechoslovakia for the examples I’m citing. The problem is with the industry not being such an attractive career choice combined with the massive patient loads and other restrictions the doctors are required to accept.

It is becoming the sort of profession that the British are unwilling to perform, like gardening in Texas. Thus foreigners willing to do more work for less compensation is becoming more of a necessity.
