Years ago an American friend staying in England was involved in a car accident, not too serious but bumped about and a few cuts from flying glass. She was taken to hospital by ambulance, treated as an emergency, various scans and x rays to check no hidden damage. Released with some pain medication, she then asked the nurse "how will i be billed?" . She said she had never seen a more confused expression. "Billed? We're a hospital you don't pay us" .

Isn’t all that money just taken from doctors? So it’s bad to be a doctor in UK then lol

I work in the NHS and I think the UK as a whole has an philosophy that you 'work to live', not 'live to work' as in the reason I work is to provide for my family and for us to have a little money to do nice things with our lives, my reason for existing isn't just to work and nor should it be. What sort of life is that? Life is too short and I don't need to work 100 hours a week to pay for more material stuff that I probably don't really need and don't have time to use.

I fell off my pushbike and broke my femar whilst going to a training course in Bristol. I was taken to the BRI. The doctor there decided that as I was only 50 years old he would do the surgery differently which has been great. After over a week I was discharged and returned to Taunton where I lived and the care of the local general hospitel. I was put on a 6 week OT outpatient program, going into the hospital every few days. At the time I was living alone as I was in the early stages of a nasty divorce and pretty fragil emotionally. When my 6 weeks OT was coming to an end they extended it for another six weeks. Not because I wasn't making progress with my physical recovery but because they felt I would benefit from the emontional support of seeing someone and being cared about. It was never spoken about in that way, it wasn't a formal thing it was just something they did. It probably saved my life!

As an intern, I feel like a fish out of water because I refuse to take the conventional steps that most of my colleagues do: They graduate, get into residency programs, struggle with time, struggle with money, become specialists, get a job and sell their hours to sponsor a style of life that is expected for a Brazilian doctor. In the end, Medicine is all they've lived. I`ve really identified myself with your last reason: Leave the rat race! Good Job Dr. Ibreez

It is dependent on the program and deanery, and even if there is some amount of rotation, most doctors find a middle ground to live in as it is never from one end of the country to the other.

It's a foreign concept in the USA- applying for training for many is another lump sum of money.

Hello Doctor. Thank you for your amazing videos and posts. I am an IMG from Latin America and graduated from medical school in 2015. Are more than 5 years after graduation considered a 'red flag' for applying to medical training in the UK as it occurs in some programs in the US?

No, not at all.

No not a red flag at all.. only thing is try not to be shy of at starting at a level 1-2 years less than what you expect... e.g if you expect to start as SHO, try to start at F1 .. pay will be less, but so will the responsibility and it takes time to adjust to not just the system but the cultural mores, so to say. For someone moving from a predominantly Caucasian place to the Uk - e.g US, Australia, Canada etc .. the time to adjust will be far less. But for someone moving from Africa, Asia, or South America ... the time to adjust will be more...

How do you find the pay affecting the job role? I see a lot of videos from med school insiders saying in the US different roles pay more whereas the UK i understand has the same pay for each job. In the US do you find people choosing specialities to chase the money? And in the UK do you find doctors choose their specialities depending on their interests as pay isn't an influencing factor?

There are definitely some US based doctors who concentrate on salary for their specialty, especially the options to go private or open a clinic. For UK doctors, haven't heard that so much or really at all.

The X6 income mortgages on offer in the UK are worth a mention as well. So a doctor couple on £100,000 each could buy a £1.3 million house if they have a 10% deposit.

Houses are so much more expensive here though

It's so shocking that the medical stuff in the states has like a 1000% markup on what actually should be reasonably charged, from medication to hospital rooms, yet the medical staff apparently don't get paid that well

Vast profits to insurance drugs and hospital companies take all the money, successful doctors are better businessmen than doctors in the US.

@@paulm2467 Doctors that do not want to be businessmen, sadly, wind up retiring as soon as the can afford it. My understanding is that this is a huge contributor to the medical doctor shortage in the US.

GMC decides

I am a GP and have been in a dilemma about moving to US but your video is an eye opener. Just a feedback about the point that IMGs have to pay health surcharge of around £600 per person per year to cover health care cost during their stay. It stops only when you become a permanent resident after 5 years. But any how very well made video. Love NHS ❤️

Thanks for your video. It's very helpful. I am GMC registered and in GP training post as GPST1. Due to some family reasons I might have to move to USA. Do I have to start from USMLE + OET and wait for matching and residency? or is there any shorter way to work in USA. Or I wait for 2 more yrs and complete my GP training in UK, where do I start my journey in USA as a working and earning doctor? Please suggest or share your thoughts.

There may be an option to work in family medicine in the USA after completing GP training in the UK without USMLE but with boards and other evidence, but you'd need a green card/citizenship first.
