Its awful to hear such comments from educated people on this forum who bring shame to their country by their eccentric thinking just because they find it difficult to cope with stressful events in life.....

GC is not oxygen...something one cant live without. WE make the choice of coming to the US to seek what we believe to be a better life; all the troubles we face on the road are what we bargained for, by our own free will. So there is hardly any point in cursing fate for what we all go through - this is what I have learned in my time here... Is the system un-fair? Maybe. But I chose to live with it in the 1st place. And thats that. Blaming our origins is our frustration speaking, nothing else at all. I am still proud of my origin and shall always be - its not perfect, but neither is any other place!

Harry 99, I can understand the frustration behind ur statement. However dont be mad at your country.I am from India too, but I will call it a developing country and not a third world country.If you curse your country and think that its passport has no value then how do you expect some other person (say Program Director) to respect you and trust your medical degree.Every country has its own merits and demerits.Try and focus on how much u acheived being and Indian. Dont try and blame your desparation ( not getting interviews or something else) on your country. If u think deeply, the only benefit u get if you r born in this country is that u will be an AMG and have first preference like that.But again will you be able to complete medical school so easily with a few thousand rupees spent on fees. Think about it. Its just my opinion.Good Luck to u.

I think harry99 was just trying to stimulate the forum, in order to dissipate his anxiety... I think everybody is proud of his origin and culture.

everybody gets their chance. its only a matter of time. i pray to god everyday to give me strength to change things around me. but i also ask him to give me the wisdom to accept the things i cant and move on. the power within u is always greater than the obstacles in front of u. gl..

it is so frasturating - that is a given. sometimes when i think of where i could be had i stayed home; i would be practising in the biggest hospital with all the clout...but then that is it (at least where i am from) this country gives us the chance to go so much farther. the hurdles on our way are sometimes going to feel impossibe; but we can get through this. we are not the first and we are not the last either. heads up young people.

If we stayed back home , many of us would be the stars of the hospitals we would worked at. But we always long for perfection, that's waht brought us here in the first place

It's not the perfection, it's the grass on the other side of the fence. I have a friend, whose son just went back to India permanently, with India catching up so fast in the recent years, you will see many people going the other direction now.

I live in Dominican Republic a 3erd maybe 4th world country and my med school transcript hurts the eyes of anyone who reads it (because its so bad) but I'm sure that there is a good position for me no doubt about it. I havent got any interviews yet but i'm sure ill get one or more. if I dont, ill go to USA and visit all the program directors I can and convince them of why they need me (maybe use a little charm if female). Better said than done... maybe, but i think the world is full of oportunities, we just have to find were they are.
