Im not at all surprised. I think there is something seriously wrong with the way we train doctors here. Plus we encourage them to have huge egos which i think encourages them to dismiss their patients legitimate concerns
>Our analysis of 244,153 hospitalizations in Pennsylvania found that patients of doctors **who graduated from international medical schools** ***and*** **were not U.S. citizens at the time** they entered medical school had significantly lower mortality rates than patients cared for by doctors **who graduated from U.S. medical schools** *or* **who were U.S. citizens and received their degrees abroad**.

>**We found no significant mortality difference when comparing all international medical graduates with all U.S. medical school graduates**
