I work in the ER down here in sofla.
This narrative that Latin American doctors are the sht is so overplayed and blown way tf out of proportion. I know a ton of dudes that were doctors in Cuba and Latin that say it’s bullsht. The only reason Cuban doctors are being exported to other Latin countries is pure politics dude. Especially in Venezuela.
You don’t see a lot of Cuban doctors being exported to Switzerland or Dubai do you? Yes US doctors are not the end all to be all. But if you got some bad illness going on you dont want to be anywhere else. Trust me on this one. Wealthy people from other countries fly here for treatment when the sht hits the fan really bad. Call it resources or technology but it’s also a very very long and stringent weed out process. Just like police get a bad rap for some disturbing abuses of power and corruption so does the medical community. Don’t let the insurance and cumbersome red tape of this countries health care cloud your judgement. Don’t let the low prices and easy access to basic care in other places fool you into thinking otherwise. I constantly see people coming to the ER cause they went to some other country to get something done that went south really fast and now they have no other recourse but to get it fixed here.
And while we’re at this topic let’s not forget where the *** we live boys and girls.
Some cherry picking here with this video. Cuban hospitals are by in large in better condition than this. Though it's obviously still a very poor country.
This is more representative...
