The World Responds to Obama’s Reelection

That would not be as wise as you might think, HM. I can tell you
why there are a shitload of unemployed physicians running around
Moskva (and a big reason why Western-trained physicians are needed
in Eastern Europe).

The practice of medicine at one time, and and to a degree still
is, extremely highly regarded in Russia and the former USSR. When
the USSR split up, and satellite countries took some of their
physicians, and coupled with a burgeoning middle class, medical
students nowadays outright bribe examiners in order to get through
their medical schools. And this is done with alarming regularity
nowadays.

Reputation is extremely important and the Russian (and
Ukrainian) populations seek to root out bad doctors quickly, which
is why they have a buttload of unemployed doctors running around
Russia and Eastern Europe.

Even stomotologists (dentists) and orthodontists suffer from
this, and both unlicensed and licensed incompetents abound. The
saying there is,”People go to the State Clinics to die,” with
locals opting to utilize private polikliniki, which of course is
significantly more expensive. Even reputable state employed
physicians are not about taking bribes for line jumpers.

Nursing, I agree, since acclimating foreign trained nurses to
ANA/NANDA standards would not be difficult at all.
