WTF don’t you go hang out amongst your own kind ?

Just because Indians are hospitable doesn’t mean you wear out your welcome with your rage.

There is an old Persian curse “Be angry and die of this anger.”

Make sure your ER doctor isn’t from India though.

What you and portmanteau should say, if you were intellectually honest, is not “India has too many doctors” which is an outright lie, but “India has too many doctors who want to get the hell out of there”.

i say something like that in comment #74 (read line 1). india-trained physicians may not want to get the hell out of the motherland, but certainly, if they want to get a post-MBBS education, they might not have another option. if you wish us to express our sentiments as per your command, maybe you should take a page out of dear leader’s playbook. didn’t he say that power grows out of the barrel of a gun? haranguing people over the internet doesn’t work quite as well, little mao.

Going with white doctors instead, which group according to his delusion includes indian doctors!

heh. after reading vinods post, i thought “my god, prema is going to have a conniption: indians are being classified as white.” apparently, the thought of whites classifying indians is white is too much for him to bear, so he projects the delusion onto razib, who obviously is as opposed to this classification as he is to affirmative action itself.

does this also mean that mexican immigrants do poorly because they are an artifically selected population, generally low skilled laboarer who’ve been hurt by 50years of anti-free market policies of the mexican oligarchy? if the model minority is a myth, wouldn’t ant-mexican racism be a myth too?

India has too many doctors, many more than it can gainfully train and emply. The post-MBBS training opportunities are severely limited, and less by an order of magnitude than the number of MMBS seats. That’s why doctors complete their residency and leave for the US. There are a quite a few doctors who leave India to take up PhD programs abroad, since all they want to do is research. As with most other portfolios, the Health portfolio in India is held by an A-grade chump – Anbumani Ramadoss – who is so busy exploting his 23 servants out of Lutyens bungalow in New Delhi and hectoring Rajanikanth that he doesn’t have the time to look into these matters. In the meanwhile Ramadoss is all set to hand out medical school licenses to Jerry Falwell Liberty University type diploma mills. The PM couldn’t care less as long as Ramadoss’s party continues to support the ruling alliance and his puppetmaster the lady on Race Course Road is happy.

How the heck does any of this lead to the conclusion that India has “too many doctors”, an overflowing “surplus” that spills over to the developed nations? When the reality is that India is suffering from an acute shortage of doctors. You are just giving reasons for why doctors trained in India prefer to go abroad instead of staying home. And amusingly you neglect to mention the bottom line reason: they are desperate to go abroad because they know they can make a helluva lot more money there than they can in India.

What you and portmanteau should say, if you were intellectually honest, is not “India has too many doctors” which is an outright lie, but “India has too many doctors who want to get the hell out of there”.

Do you find anything FALSE in the comments you referred ?. If so, can you explain?. Do you think “who” made up the news reports about Dr. Patel and Dr. Desai?

you are right, ponniyin selvan. it is perfectly reasonable to conclude that immigrant indian doctors with indian accents are murderous, unethical scum from those two examples. my bad.

What you are conveniently neglecting to consider is that these two weren’t just the usual random examples of doctor misconduct, these are probably the two worst examples that have been in the news in the past few years. Dr Patel, known as Dr Death, is responsible for at least 87 deaths due to his incompetence and Dr Desai may have infected 40,000 americans with the AIDs virus due to shoddy practices in his clinics. Of course someone like you who is irrational enough to argue that the “bid-ask spread” explains the “surplus” of doctors in India may find it hard to understand why americans who have been following the news could have a reason to be wary of indian doctors based on just those two examples.

The reason I brought this up was to counter the self-serving putdown of black and hispanic doctors by one poster here. Apparently he thinks that black and hispanic doctors are incompetent due to lower standards applied to them in medical school and therefore whites choose to avoid them if they can afford to do so. Going with white doctors instead, which group according to his delusion includes indian doctors! Though he did throw in the caveat about indian accents turning whites off to give the impression that he was being fair and objective in his analysis.
