[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of doctors, just no one the average American would want to see. I know I’m not the only one that looks at a doctors credentials and skip over any that have a degree from an unknown school or one from the Caribbean. 
On the flipside, I took my dd to a pediatric practice that had 3 Harvard grads and one from Cornell. Saw all of them before moving on. They were terrible. I told one in private to subtly bring up my dd’s weight problem and the first thing she told her was “your mom is worried about your weight gain”. Another one ignored a symptom that was later diagnosed as something serious, and the 3rd one couldn’t have been more disinterested. 
So we have a lot of doctors but many of them are not that good.[/quote]

One of my doctors went to school in the Caribbean.  She’s fantastic.  I never thought to check credentials until I kept seeing it on here and looked up my regular doctors and specialists.  At that point, I had been going to her for years.  I’m glad I didn’t use this as a reason to never make that initial appointment.  [/quote]
