Is this a good idea or should new doctors be required to establish a practice where they are needed for first three years?

I like the way it is set up.
If they don't stay, they have to pay it back and if they do it would defray part of their educational costs. It's not that much money for us to pay out to encourage service, and it would save lives.

I only see a doctor when I can't figure out the problem myself; they have better diagnostic machines than I do, in some cases. Once I know what the problem is, I can fix it myself.

I'm not too sure about that Cliffy, I've spent 10 days in hospital since Feb. 17 on two occasions and those guys have a few tricks that most people haven't even thought of. (anyway I'm going to be OK, I take a lot of killing)-

I'm happy you survived your ordeal. I have a few tricks up my sleeve too.

I didn't phrase it well, 6 days on the first occasion 4 on the second. Little problem with atrial Fib out of the blue, it's not nearly as serious as a bi-pass but it is a little tricky to treat to get the meds right with a little fine tuning from time to time, not to mention blood thinning and they have to wait awhile to do a cardiac conversion (possibly in a couple of weeks) anyway I'm going to be just fine. Thanks for the kind thought, Sal.

Glad it has worked out so well. Best wishes for the upcoming. Thank God for our medical coverage.

We had something like this over 20 years ago in the States. A rural community paid for a student's tuition and he/she would be required to work in that area for about 3 years. After some initial success it stopped. But it sure was a good idea.


You may as well go see Dr Oetker for better care. They are unqualified and scam artists.
