Big Differences

Hello All.

I only became a memeber today on this site and i have read through different forums and really like the attitudes and opinions and how everyone seems to be helping each other understand more.

I live in the UK, and between us and the USA, the differences are huge. Its big differences in heiarchy, guidelines, news articles, advice and work environments. Its very hard to keep up with it all, but its been a big learning site today and its opened up my mind to more, different ways of doing things, which is always good right?

I realise many may not know what goes on here in the UK. The same as i don't understand alot of what happens inthe USA. But its up to me to learn as it'll only help me on.

Here they seem to be very strict when it comes to medicine and things like that. What are the things in the USA that are common place when it comes to healthcare? Can anyone give me some advice? Please ?

Oh my goodness............what a big question........

What specific areas are you interested in?

Hospitals? Nursing Homes? Clinics?

Insurance? Payment for Services?

General experience of the public seeking healthcare?

welcome to the site! I am sure we would love to hear your expereinces

as well as to what goes on in the UK. I have a sister in law who will

be in UK soon. Her husband is being transferred there. She is hoping

to work in oncology clinic areas....that is her expertise. Her clinic physician

has told her it will be very different.
