Pray tell, what were the complaints? And you heard correctly, that it's UK, yes?

I'm pretty sure the standards are there, and it should be much better than msia.

the 2nd bold statement is true to some extent. The individual has to play his/her part in active learning and being enthusiastic. But lecturers and clinicians are VERY VERY important. I've learnt so so much in my 8 weeks of general med rotation. So long your enthusiastic and keep asking questions and don't be shy, you'll learn heaps. Our education system encouraged us to be spoon fed and accept whatever was given to us. That's really not the ideal way to learn.

so, back to the topic. have you done your tertiary education ie STPM/A level/ IB/ matrik/ Pre-U/ AUSMAT/ etc? If so, which one? if you're competent (in money as well), head overseas. I didn't regret doing so. If not, get into IPTA. Or at least one of the better established med unis in msia eg monash, imu.

You gotta be joking if UK is producing  mediocre doctors. Being competent to take blood does not equate to being a good doctor. Any human being, also can take blood after a short 5 days course. urgh.

And since when a doctor's job is to take soo muchhh bloooodddd. There are much more things to do than taking bloods, unless they are urgent.

Or maybe, just maybe they said UKraine, and you heard UK, or they were pronoucing UKraine wrong (raine being silent) deliberately. 

It should be the other way round. The nurse should have done it before bugging you to take bloods!!!

How did it NOT enter your mind it might be Ukraine? Perhaps you have not read the threads covering russian medical degrees.
