Sixty years later, no amount of gold can persuade Britons to spend their working lives in the country's dirty, decrepit hospitals (they spend enough of their nonworking lives there, waiting to be seen, waiting for beds, waiting for operations). According to a report in the British Medical Journal, white males comprise 43.5 percent of the population but now account for less than a quarter of students at UK medical schools. In other words, being a doctor is no longer an attractive middle-class career proposition. That's quite a monument to six decades of Michael Moore-style socialist health care.
As a result they've had to hire lots of third-world doctors and nurses, many of them Muslim. Now we have several connected bombing plots maladroitly planned and executed by these Muslim physician/civil servants. I hope for the patients' sakes they were better physicians than they were bombers.
By the way, I suspect this dependence on foreign doctors is fairly typical of governmental health systems. I understand our Veterans Administration hospitals are similarly staffed with immigrants.
