Re: why doctors want doctors…
I don’t know what your problem is. Okay, I get it, you’re a med student, my husband is a doctor qualified from Pakistan too. But that doesn’t mean things you don’t like, don’t happen.
The fact remains that in Pakistan, there are a plethora of private medical schools. My BIL’s wife’s sister didn’t get the marks to get into any of the gov medical colleges as they are highly competitive so her parents are paying for her to go to the fairly new private medical school (she needed okay grades to get in but nothing like the gov. college’s) - it’s not on the WHO list of approved schools yet so her degree wouldn’t mean anything in US/UK for example.
I don’t have a problem with this, if someone really wants to become a doctor, good for them. My problem is the lengths people go to, to get the rishta and then don’t work for even a day afterwards if they get married by then.
