From an international medical student to the health minister : Comments

By Ming Yong, published 26/10/2012

Having spent $300,000 on an Australian medical degree, why should a student then be forced to pay for their internship?

...I think it is high time we accepted a few “Quacks”, (unregistered Doctors) in our communities: Example the old days when our favored betting medium was the local SP bookie!

...Doctors are painting themselves into a corner with overpricing their services. Asia beckons, as evidenced in the exodus of patients fleeing Australia to affordable dentists; a trend is evident.

Thank you for coming to study in Australia, Ming. I am glad that you have enjoyed the experience. I am sorry that the government is screwing you over your internship - it is truly disgraceful behavior.

Thank you for SELLING OUT Australia, WATTLE. I am glad that you ARE enjoying the big-noting experience. I am sorry that YOUR dictator government is screwing tax-paying Australians over while you obviously have found a way around that. Related to a coporate director are we? - Yours is truly disgraceful quisling behaviour.

It is in every Australian's interest and the interests of Migrants that migrants pay their (minimum $300,000) infrastructure share. Those like doctors in a position to comfortably pay more should be willing and proud to do so knowing it will allow Australia to maintain standards well above the disgusting national governments they fled.

Bugsy: Sorry, but that is just naive. This is exactly what it is,

I know exactly what it is Bugsy, I did say "supposed to be."

But you are right, "that IS exactly what it is," but it shouldn't be. These students have a responsibility to go home & raise their own countries standards not stay here because they can earn more money. It's greed.

Hang on, we in country Australia need doctors too, not just you
city slickers. Perhaps students should be offered internships, if
they agree to work for a few years in country areas.

Without the country, you people would have no farming or mining,
you'd frigging starve, so stop being so selfish.
