My ophthalmic surgeon is from India. He was offered a job in the U.K., at the top hospital for eye surgery in London. The other doctors told him not to take it. The laser treatment he uses routinely here was not scheduled to be purchased at any time in the near future there. Other equipment, same story. He was being asked to perform top quality care with substandard tools, which he couldn't do.

So he chose to accept a job in the U.S.

It isn't just the patients who dislike the NHS in the UK, the better doctors won't work for it either.

also - if it is true, was told it recently on the boards - the medication amitriptyline which I am getting here for my fibromyalgia is considered to be out of date in the US or Canada or both...now....I don't complain about it as I am thankful for it, but if that is the case then it shows again the difference.
