I don’t know, not sure I want to know...lol But, I would say, if the health care bill is implemented. And we have a mass exodus of doctors, we will probably see them stream line school for docs and possibly be so desperate for them they will accept just about anybody.

Indian docs have to complete a residency here in the US before they can be licensed to practice. Regardless of their training in India, they have to complete a full training program here.

Those are called Physician Assistants, aren’t they?
To: RaiderRose
Of course they don’t dare address the fact that too many qualified people are kept from pursuing a medical education because of the admissions process.

Will Planned Parenthood speak up when there are more botched legal abortions? Nope, Big Murder's interest is in killing, they don't really differentiate the ages of their victims -- twenty weeks old or twenty years old, they simply don't care.

There is no ‘Doctor’ shortage.
There is in fact an extreme excess of the kind of pill pushers that such a program will produce.
Why not just educate our existing doctors in human nutrition so that they can heal rather than ‘medicate?’

They did this during WWII. A doctor that I knew when I was growing up graduated college in 1940 and had his MD in 1943.

There’s a reason why the doctors and janitors in hospitals in the USSR got paid the same.

So family doctors - the ones who first see us and are the first to have the initial idea of diagnosis - don’t need to be as well-trained. What a country!

We used to joke about the University Health Center’s PA, who saw all the students - sudafed will solve all problems. Cold - sudafed, broken leg -sudafed, pregnant - sudafed. It was the wonder drug of the UHC.
