O.K.

I'm reassured.

High quality doctors can and do come from any country.

I wasn't casting aspersions, just seeking feedback, which I got in welcome abundance.

Thanks all!

Me?

Meek?

Why ya hardly know me...

Thank you all for the great insights.

I very much appreciate it.

R DAVIS,

You brought me a great big smile with my 3 favorites...now to hit the floor and run sideways in a circle, whoopboobooboooo!

DocV,

Thank you very much!

Thanks WildBill - food for thought!

If a doctor received his/her medical training in the third world, are you O.K. with that?

I've recently come across two MD's that were both trained is an obscure, third world institution and wonder if I should look askance at their education? Yeah, I realize this makes me sound like a bigot, but man, when it comes to my health, I want someone trained in a first world institution.

Am I being overly cautious?

My PCP just retired, so I'm interested in (perhaps) one of these two MD's. I researched her educational background to see it was completed in a third world country and found that bit of information more than a little dismaying.

Does that mean third world medical training is inferior by leaps and bounds compared to first world?

I don't know?

What say you?

Thanks!
