THIS IS DISGUSTING !!!

Rich western countries that are too cheap to train their own doctors come to the less wealthy parts of the world and steal the health care professionals so that the less wealthy parts of the world have worse health care as well.

Sweden is wealthy enough to train its own doctors, and does train most of its doctors. However there is a shortage and - as it recently emerged - this shortage was engineered by the doctors union (in collusion no doubt with their colleagues at the medical colleges) to make sure wages stay, so this was one area where - in the midst of general expansion of higher education - the number of admissions actually went down.

A lot of our doctors train abroad for that reason: in Hungary, Poland, Denmark. The Danes are rightly pissed as we take up space at their universites. A disgrace really. One of my friends even trains as a doctor in Australia, from which we're unlikely to get him back. Better weather, higher wages, lower taxes.
