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.
