1136247 2010-09-11 21:42:00 Only if the immigrant doctors in this country were allowed to get qualified and stat work!

That only works if we (the Govt) have sufficient funding! Problem with this country is that we have no MONEY but we have a bunch of useless, hopeless, good for nothing politicians who only care for their own wealth. This National administration only concern about those rich people who don't really need the public health as they can well afford to go to private healthcare.

I dont want any rush to qualify foreigner doctors that cant pass the NZ standard I would rather have them driving taxis or doing home cleaning.
I really want to know that foreigner doctors here are as good as ones that come out of Otago. Having these clowns try multiple times to pass the registration scares the pants of me.
They should only get one attempt.
As far as North Shore hospital goes well you pay for what you get and hospital is free.

Ironic that things are no different from the 10 years that a socialist party held the reigns.

^Prefect, your xenophobia is absurd.

Sorry bk, but that's the problem with EVERY SINGLE countries on this planet. :p

I agree with prefect in principle bar the xenophobic tone in his post. You have to make sure any foreign doctors practising here is competent enough.

1136252 2010-09-12 01:55:00 I am sure my travel insurance will get me a good commie hospital and doctor.
Is asking that foreign doctors meet the standards of New Zealand doctors xenophobic?
One chance at exams, just like a pilot on an NZ airforce pilots wings course, you dont get a second chance.
I see similarity pilot and a doctor. I dont want some half baked clown killing me with death.

It's a rather arrogant attitude we in NZ have - to think fully trained, fully qualified, experienced doctors that were working overseas can't do the same here without retraining.

The quality of that training can make a big difference and that is why they need to show they are up to our standards.

1136256 2010-09-12 02:31:00 We pay taxes for our 'free' medical care and so, theoretically, we should not need medical insurance,
You can thank Auntie Helen for starting the health reforms off and since then they have only got worse.
