I can only tell you about my experience,and I know I am NOT alone..... The grass on the other side seems greener...... Doctors doing their jobs on sponsorship fare better than those who have done the PLAB. Those doing the PLAB will find it even MORE difficult to obtain jobs due to the ruling by the BMA. This shouldn't be true... As Passing the PLAB is really quite difficult and the GMC is making it even more so!! It's not your smartness/knowledge that is truly assessed...FOR if that were the case, the opposite should be true....I mean, those passing the PLAB should really be absorbed/be able to find jobs. I THINK it more an issue of dumbing down.....that the NHS is truly interested in!! It is really a form of corruption, (not as everyone knows it, where money exchanges hands.....) it's where one does not voice over issues of injustice/discrimination/ignorance. One is NOT a whistleblower, so to speak...... And the NHS gets away with ANYTHING......(I do not want to mention the word....But I am sure you know the phrase!!) There are Loads of TRUE stories in the NHS where patients are NOT given treatment for their illnesses, and patients migrate to the INDIA for treatment. I am in a dilemma, where I am out of job, and am UNABLE to obtain treatment for my HIGH BP!! A few weeks ago, my BP was 220/125mm Hg, and I went to The Royal London Hospital A&E dept for it....and after waiting for 4 hours was told by the Consultant in Charge, she would NOT treat it, despite pointing out page 91 in the BNF (British National Formulary Oct 2005 edition) that Accelerated BP, requires IMMEDIATE medication!! This is my PLIGHT and I am a QUALIFIED DR from India, having passed my PLAB in the U.K. I don't know the plight of the rest of my colleagues.. I did meet a DR at the BMA careers Conference in Dec 2005, who was from KEM/Bombay, who was in a similar situation!! And the Immigration Dept is making it EVEN more DIFFICULT for Drs from non EU countries to obtain a visa..... One loses the SKILLS obtained through ALL those years of HARD WORK.... Is it WORTH IT? It is not only BRAIN DRAIN, with all the resources that the Indian Govt puts in to train Drs in India. It is at a more PERSONAL FRONT!! (skills, obtaining treatment, money to sustain oneself, visa are some of the issues) I would advice ALL doctors from refraining to come to the U.K. especially of they want to do the PLAB. It is NOT worth IT!! Had somebody told me this When I came here years ago, I would definately have thought twice!! And apart from the skills one loses, one is at risk of losing ones LIFE!! I am not being MELODRAMATIC but due to the complexity of the situation, It is not just by NOT giving treatment as I have mentioned above, which is is dangerous in itself, BUT because one is at risk of Identity Fraud!! I have this female trespassing into my flat (I know because of the video timer, which gets deleted, and other clues) coming LATE at night..... And obviously her intentions are not good..... I can't imagine it is to watch TV or my Videos that brings her tbere.... And she has to be operating in a NETWORK..... BUT I stay OUT of my flat at night to avoid any misadventures/etc. It is as DANGEROUS as THAT!! You would think the Police would help..... But I am not sure of that either?? I am not sure if I have come accross a corrupt police officer ?? I have yet to find out. IS IT ALL WORTH IT?? Please convey this to the budding doctors and deter them from coming to the U.K. I have taken it upon myself to forewarn them from coming here and ONLY prayed, that had somebody told me this When I was ready to come here ALL those years ago, I would well have NOT wasted my LIFE towards this fruitless PURSUIT of a FOREIGN DEGREE!! I think they should abolish this notion in India about foreign degrees being better..... It is merely a MYTH!! I am a doctor from India. I can only tell you about my experience,and I know I am NOT alone.….
