Of the 277,000 doctors registered to practice in Great Britain's General Medical Council, the BBC reports, roughly 128,000 of them — 46% — were trained outside the European Union. Four years ago, more than two-thirds of physicians registered to practice in the United Kingdom were from overseas. Great Britain has little choice but to import physicians. Brits, it seems, don't want to be doctors like they once did. The socialist National Health Service is constantly trying to fill shortages and cannot operate without doctors from abroad.

The U.S. is also importing a lot of doctors, although I don't believe that it is yet up to the ratios that the U.K. has.

Sadly, yes. And native-born doctors are retiring or switching to lucrative practices such as cosmetic surgery or ART [Artificial Reproductive Therapies], diminishing the availability of well-qualified doctors in more necessary, (but more-regulated financially by third party payers) areas of practice.
