If you want to live, find a foreign-trained physician

Physicians trained outside the US had lower patient mortality than physicians trained in the US.  I would like to order up some nice blond female internist from Sweden.

Good luck with that, I am thinking some hairy dude from Eastern Europe or someone from Southwest Asia, more specifically the Indian sub-continent or very close to there is going to be your most plentiful option.

Many of the doctors at the VA hospital where I go are foreign. If they are typical of immigrant doctors, ain't no way they provide better care than American-trained doctors. I'm only one patient and I have filed formal complaints about two doctors (both foreign) at the VA hospital.

I had a specialist a few years back who was both Indian and smoking hot.

At one of my clinics, we have a smoking hot blond female family practitioner from Finland, and she has the most adorable accent.

When I was an EMT working in a Las Vegas Urgent Care Center I was the medical assistant/EMT for the Russian female that did pediatrics. As we got to know each other I learned she used to hang out by the water somewhere in the Sea of Okhotsk. We used to kid that we were there at the same time, her living there and me flying into the Sea of O in a P3 to conduct a look see.

She gave up treating sick people probably 12-15 years ago and has been doing a booming business with aesthetic procedures.
