On Doctors and Migrating,
1. Not everyone can , not everyone should. Not everyone is better off Abroad.
2. If your plan is to "leave". Just to leave the country and Practice Medicine outside. The UK is your best bet. The US is much more expensive and longer

Something really crazy happened rn
Deferred a case because the BP was through the roof and uncontrolled.
The Surgeon disagreed. Said the machine could be faulty
We checked Surgeons BP. It was higher than the patients own.
Long story short,
Surgeon is on Admission.

If you want to marry a Doctor because they are 'Okay' or at least they are 'Comfortable', that was 10 years ago.
Doctors are poor.
Any Doctor "balling" probably makes more from their non-medical pursuits than from 'Not Pale, Anicteric'.

There are a few things that are absolutely crazy with this story

- He rendered services to the police officer even when the officer hadn’t paid. He also managed him so well, he fully
A consultant neurosurgeon was kidnapped by policemen because a policeman doesn’t want to pay his hospital bills?
People won’t talk about it as much as they would if the Doctor refused to treat without payment.

Dear Dr,
When next you a discharging a patient, ask them to explain their diagnosis, and the medications they are taking.
What did we treat you for?
How can you prevent it next time?
What's the white pill, what does it do, How often and for how long should you take it?
