Wrong........it was never like this..........We did have good quality medical training.......and our graduates in the past were recognised in many countries......over the years we deteriorated......and this decay accelerated the last 10 years.......with the adoption of the airasia model.......now everybody can be a doctor.......

If  one's attitude is like that, u are condemned to be 3rd world forever.......

Medicine, by all means, are a field of great respect after the post-independence era which lasted till the development era. Every doctors, even just a general practitioners are greatly respected no matter where you are or who you are within and outside this country.. And now, what you do see in every doctors you met? Is it the usual 'okay I meet this guy, he'll prescribe me and I'll cure' or the 'yes! A doctor! Man, I'm lucky shit! I WILL SURVIVE!!' ?
The faith in doctors are terribly in grave danger. And it do have something to do with us 3rd world and them 1st.. The 1st kept medicine a professional career, while we called it a professional career.. We must not be ignorant to forget the fact that to be a 1st, you must first learn why the 1st is a 1st in the 1st place.
Now end this war, stop contaminating this steriled thread.

I felt compelled, but very lazy to restate an important point that I've repeated lots of time..
Passionate student with low results don't deserve to be in medicine.
Outstanding student without passion not supposed to be in medicine.
Outstanding student with passion deserved and should be in medicine.
Before most began to put up a fight for the first point, I must first require you to take in a deep breath and think deep.. This is about people's lives, and go as far as our country's dignity and the survival of our citizens.. This is about the healthcare which everyone sought for.. This is about who the sick meet and what they'd receive.. Passion without the values of patience, vigilance, perseverance and most importantly, the knowledge, brainpower and basics, are useless. Unless you want just any other John who don't know anything but yet wants and super passionate about being a doctor which encompassed his dreams since he was born to be the backbone of this honorable field that used to be greatly looked upon , prioritize the outstanding students with passion and the outstanding students without passion to be next.. Cause knowledge's what treating the sick. And passion's what driving them.
