Medical Workers Emerge as Focus in British Inquiry

by lee1

LONDON, Tuesday, July 3 — British police officials investigating the failed car bombings in London and Glasgow focused Monday on suspects in the medical profession, including a doctor from Jordan, another from Iraq, and medical workers or students. As many as five of the seven people arrested so far in Britain appear to have such links.

Also read that some had apparenlty tried/thought to immigrate here also.

Why is it that we need so many immigrant MDs and RNs when are own citizens are trying to enroll in our own schools and find out there are just not enough professors/slots to go around??? That should be addressed immediately in my opinion. I am not even sure we need immigrant MDs or is there just not enough to work in certain areas or are payscales not enough to attract them?

Heard that in some states there are waiting lists of thousands to just get into nursing schools of our own citizens.

That's correct. I live in TX and a couple of schools here have a 1-2 yr waiting list. Therefore many students are trying to attend colleges 8-12 hours away. In my class in 2004 we had nurses who flew in once a week to attend class and clinicals.
