American medical schools limit the number of physicians. These days the limitor set is number of internships and residency seats available. Anything to limit the amount.
I believe it. My wife’s nephew is a podiatrist and just got his first position as a Doctor. He is apple pie American; Ky Mom, Tennessean dad and raised in Indiana.
I swear he has been in college for 10 years, had to get a congressman’s recommendation to go to school, kid is smart straight A student. Cost him I don’t know how many 10s of thousands of dollars.
No way you’ll ever convince me those Indians and Paks by the 1000s go through that much. A few RNs have privately told me as much by the way.
