Med School

Re: Med School

really?

Re: Med School

anaesthetists are always stressed out..IMHO :p

Re: Med School

docs are themselves stressed out no matter which one…even the med students :bummer:

Re: Med School

ESPECIALLY the med students :S
how much do they charge in US and carribean ?

Re: Med School

charge for what?

Re: Med School

yar tution fee and stuff ...

Re: Med School

i would never go to a doctor who got his degree from some carribean school.

Re: Med School

^^ then don't get ill

Re: Med School

Re: Med School

Mikhaeel made a STATEMENT and is unable to back it up :rolleyes:

Re: Med School

my hubby graduated last year and his 2nd housejob will also be over in a few days. He did his 1st one in ortho and 2nd one in anesthesia.

Re: Med School

where is he?

Re: Med School

they charge about 200+ for everything. How's the environment there? i heard it was nasty. Mikhael brings up a good point..its hard to open up your own practice if you did ur schooling in the caribbean (from what i've heard).

Re: Med School

Anyone in US medical schools? I'm applying for next year, carribean is my fall-back so far. EMM, which state are you from..?, if you don't mind me asking..

Re: Med School

its not hard to get in, as long as ur mcat score is a 30+, a good GPA isnt that hard to maintain..but the mcat is a ba*tard horrible HORRIBLE exam which u have to do good on (unfortuanetly)

Re: Med School

Which school you attending in pak?

Also, why is anesthisology so interesting? One small miscalculation and you kill someone. In my hometown in Illinois, we get a new one every few years because they mess up and lose their privledges!!

Re: Med School

I dont believe when people say such things. My relative went to school in Pakistan and she now has her own practise in the states. She is doing well for herself, mash’Allah.

Re: Med School

all you med students, theres a forum (im not sure if im allowed to post website here in this forum…dont want to get banned:nono: dot=.) I found it very benficial…most members are very friendly and are willing to help you out at every step. Good Luck to you all and please remember me in your prayers as well.

Re: Med School

Missed this thread.

I would not see a doctor who went to the carribeans to get his medical degree. Why? Same reason why I wouldnt buy a Kia leaking brake fluid for the price of a brand new BMW.

It is no secret that people go to schools in the carribean for short cuts to get to med practice. I would rather see a doctor who went through the regular route, at a good school. It is my money, and more importantly, it is my family's health.

Also included in the list of docs I'd never wish to see practicing are the ones who went to med school because their parents wanted them to be docs. These arent easy to tell, but if its someone from a carribean school, desi or not, I'm staying clear.

Re: Med School

some people go to there to save time. would u not go to a doctor who went to those 6 yr med programs, or medstart? its the same thing. getting a lower mcat score or a lower gpa doesn't mean you wont make a good doctor. Some people are just better with hands-on
