On the question of medicine and medical care after decades of communism which ended officially with the Revolution of December 1989, Brenciu explained that Romania now produces doctors on a “conveyor belt.†He admits that a good doctor is not made by textbook theory learned in school, but is born after years of residency training, specializing, and real life experience in the ER of a hospital.
The tragedy starts, he said, when the young resident is thrown into the midst of the hospital drama and realizes that he himself has become a social case, a victim of starvation on his meager income. While a nurse in the European Union, which Romania is a member of, earns about 6,500 lei (1,500 euros) per month, a doctor in Romania earns 1,500 lei per month, approximately four times less.
A doctor earns 1/4 of what a nurse does? I don’t think those words mean what they think they mean.

This is a very insightful article about what is going on in Europe and what is the possible aftermath of a collapse of our culture in America, with greatly reduced socialist medical services the only kind available. Probably because of the political elections tomorrow, few people read it or posted, but I want to thank you. Hope you save the URL so that you can reference it later in FR discussions of healthcare systems.
