"In general, the UK is less fast paced than the US, particularly the 6 year programs. They learn more clinical medicine and do less work related things than in the states. Students in the UK are free to come and go in the wards as they choose but are given less responsibilities and opportunities, while in the US during your final 2 years you are given a job and you must show up. Your hours are long as a US clinical student. As a resident, UK doctors work less hours, but their training is longer. As a staff, UK doctors work less hours but also get paid less than US doctors."
From an Indian doctor when the question was posed "Why do Indian doctors come to the US?"
"This is in pursuit for better life. Doctors earn better and lead a very prosperous and safe life there in US. In comparison to US,In India, a very few doctors live that prosperous life."
And yes I agree, the world is capitalist.
