Today I Was Attended To By A Doctor From The 8th Ranked Medical School In Pinoyland

If cost is the issue they should let ITE produce doctor. If competency and saving life is the concern, than cost is out of the equation.

An old neighbor whose daughter has grades that can't even make it to NTU, got into NZ uni and came back as a doc. Has been in CGH for at least 5 years now. Quite a good doc based on feedback. Nearly all NUS produced doc has straight As in A level. But many are f up. Even many so called senior consultant are f up.

Medicine is a trade that needs in born talent. Today, we have docs who diagnose through elimination testing. Any layman given the algorithm can also do it. The most recent case I heard - a friend with growth in prostate. Fist doc said usually it is both sides. His is only on 1 side and is likely bad. He panic dare not go for op until someone recommend him a doc, took a look and immediately told him, it's ok, very common, just swollen gland. Immediate op and he is well the next day.

If we need a doc, make sure we know the his past performance, not his title or qualification. Not like my last experience where the doc is a head who is in the team that operated the twins. He only know how to carry out more tests to earn more money. If I had done what he recommended, may not be typing now. By doing nothing, nothing has happened all these years.

Excellent rebuttal, bro!

I have 2 nephews who were scored straight As for the A levels and yet were denied admission to our medical school here. Both had to study abroad and their respective university assessed them to so very good after their first and second year that they were both granted scholarships for the remaining years of the course. Now both of them are practicing overseas and really doing very well. Asked them if they ever want to come back to practice in Spore, they both said "tell the PAP government to go fuck itself". They very much prefer to contribute to the overseas country that treated them so much better than Singapore.

My 2 nephews are just tip of the iceberg. I am sure many many more Singapore students who even better than them have been denied entry by PAP to medicine school here. The PAP would instead open their assholes to freely let Pinoys, Ah Nehs and Burmese with fake degrees in. And as a side point, if one ever get attended by a Pinoy doctor, be very very careful as almost 100% he or she is a quack. Of all foreign trash here, the Pinoys are the biggest bull shitter, even worse than Ah Nehs.

There about 2000 Singaporeans studying medicine abroad. It cost their family about $250k a pop for the course and other incidentals. Straight away, most. Singaporeans who have the grades to enter these universities can't afford it. Only rich Singaporeans can. There are some bold Singaporeans their homes and use it to find their kid.

This is how the gap in the gini coefficient gets wider.

Fired? In Sinkieland, getting 'fired' means getting transferred to the PMO.

Sending them to a firing squad would be a better option.

really sad case that Singaporean parents have to sell homes and car to finance children's education overseas while foreigner children just literally walk into the comfy positions after studying in unknown schools.

All foreign doctors have years of experience behind them while local medical students are still undergoing training. It is obvious we should simply hire the foreigners. Why wait when you can have as many doctors as we want in an instant?

Years of experience is of no use if that person does not have the talent nor attitude. A young doc can also be good. The last doc that I met is the head, he is in his 60s. Incidentally, he is also from another country but has become citizen. What he recommended to me was pure shit. A proper check of the doc's past performance should be the criteria before accepting them. However, it appeared that SMC is not doing that. Otherwise, a doc who was struck off the list in another country would not have made it to be the head in NUH, as posted in another thread in this forum.

It is better to have no doc than having doc that prescribe the wrong treatments. Cheap is good only apply to less sensitive profession where mistakes would not cause a life. It definitely cannot apply to the medical profession.
