    In turkey, we had similar problems. But we had a huge strike then we earned our rights. We got nearly45% additional pay raise. It is better to point out problems even if there is one person suffers. looking at things from the bright side can hinder development. it is best to present the problems frankly abd demand solution

    I’m just gonna agree with people who want to leave and gonna slyly take their jobs because it is much better than the work life and PG life in India! I think people are usually dissatisfied with their home country’s healthcare and are always looking out for ways to find a better one(including me or Ibreez or Ibrahim ) One should not settle for anything lower than their standards. IMGs view NHS as a ray of hope becuz their country’s healthcare system is on a downward spiral.
    As for India I would say there are more reservations for lower caste and all the general merit(the upper caste) are looking out for ways to leave the country because of sheer political negligence and double standards. People from India who don’t get any money during PG obviously feel like a privilege moving to UK. I think it would be a 24hours video if doctors from India would make a video like this.
    To summarise, the grass is always greener on the other side…

    All of the points mentioned in the video Ibreez responded to are there in some or the other way in most healthcare systems in the Southeast Asian region. I did foundation and then worked in Kerala, India. From my experience as a doctor and as someone who chairs an association of junior doctors in Kerala- working hours are definitely worse - there are doctors who do a night and then work the next day. There are doctors who have been on work for 72 hours continuously. The pay is definitely very low and the conversations/efforts to raise it is a Herculean task (this is mostly referring to private healthcare although public healthcare is not that different if you are on fixed term contract). The hierarchal system is much more stronger - consultants have been known to scream and degrade their interns /specialist trainees in presence of patients on wards. The pressure of working hours plus hierarchy based discrimination have driven specialists trainees to suicide and each year I keep hearing more and more. So no it’s not better in all countries across the world. UK may not be heaven but at least we won’t have to pay fees to be then yelled at and humiliated or beaten up without a chance to explain ourselves.

    I think an issue a lot of trainees or medical students have is that they judge the entire career on the basis of their perspective as a trainee or student. Like, judging the stress levels and rewards of a career based on your experiences as a trainee may not be an accurate way to judge a career? You're not giving yourself the time to experience the rewards of your career by quitting during training.

      nope as trainee you have less responsibilities. You are working under someone else's name. Of course consultant will have more stress. You are taking more risks but I dont know if the pay is exponentially compensating. To me the solution is making money to buy back your time. So you have time freedom and ideally financial freedom. And your time isn't owned by someone else. And id still say uk/ eu work life balance helps with that compared to other nations. If you arent happy as trainee you wont be happy as a consultant. And ofc you win some and lose some in life. Best to be at a position where you sort of like that position and dont continuously compare with others.

    They need to understand bullying is your reality…….take it , work around it or confront it that’s upto to you no matter where you work it’s gonna be there …………i am an intern in government hospital in Gujarat,india …..While interns are not targeted here but man i have seen the 1st year residents getting slapped,kicked ….sometimes them working from 8am to 3am (like constantly on foot) , residents literally sleeps standing in queue for their tests getting done , the famous 72 hours shifts either to cover their senior’s duty or there is that much of work load…..all the work load of whole hospital boils down on 1st year residents….all because the 2nd year residents have to provide them sign on completions and they are the only ones who teaches and guide the 1st year residents……..I can’t speak for whole india but situation of 1st year residents in my state is the worst ever possible……there was a recent case of R1 developing cellulitis , varicose veins (so severe it needed surgery)and depression in first 6 months of joining …..if you are doctor you can figure out the extent of bullying needed here

I’ve already completed 1.5 years Post Graduation (FCPS) in OG from my country (Bangladesh). Now, I want to settle in UK as doctor of OG. What should I do in my current position. Should I go for MTI pathway or not? If I get chance for MTI system then is it possible to count rest of my 1.5 years training to apply for MRCOG part 3 exam from 02 years training under MTI pathway. My another question is that, during MTI process can I bring my child & husband in UK under dependent visa or other condition.

    Hello, I am actually from south korea and I am thinking of going to medical school directly(MBBS) in UK or going to bachelor in USA and applying for medical school(graudate school) in US. What would you recommend?? Pay will be a lot higher in USA but I think the fact that working hours as a doctor in UK is around 48 hours compared to 80-100hours in US makes me feel hesitant to go to USA. Because I am not that really physically strong to endure hard work. And also I think I will feel much more at home in UK. There is no public transportation in USA so.. and I like old european style housings in UK more than square shaped wide structures in USA. What would you recommend me to do so?
