TRUTH REVEALED | Why do DOCTORS leave the MIDDLE EAST?

[@samrehab7316]

Based on my extensive experience working in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, I've observed that a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction exists among professionals worldwide. Regardless of their current location, individuals tend to believe that better opportunities and greater happiness lie elsewhere. For instance, those employed in Europe often consider Australia or Canada as preferable. Conversely, professionals in Australia or Canada may view the Middle East as more advantageous. Similarly, individuals in America, Canada, or Australia frequently express a desire to work in Europe. This phenomenon suggests a universal perception that the grass is always greener on the other side.

[@deusvult1268]

Where did you prefer to work?

[@tahirmirza2251]

The grass is greener where you water it. Satisfaction and success is in nurturing what you have rather than looking elsewhere for something better.

[@Bergstrom1]

Good analysis, but the leaving salaries you quoted for those countries are actually much lower for a majority of doctors. All the reasons you gave are bang on, which is why doctors must only come to these countries after fellowship because there is hardly any personal or professional growth.

[@EmergencyFocus]

That’s true … salaries have taken a nose dive in recent years or not kept pace with times , what was acceptable 20 years ago will obviously not work in todays inflated markets and cost of living crises

[@chillepill1]

What are the available options.?

[@hmi1750]

@@EmergencyFocusbut the same cost of living crisis (arguably worse) hit in developed western countries you mention. Cost of education and further education for children is very high in the US, housing and daily costs have risen heavily in the UK and across Europe too. For example, at current exchange rates a consultant (not working privately) may hit the same salary in the UK (£90-120k) but then they have tax, pension contributions, national insurance etc. perhaps have to pay a premium for housing to access good comprehensive or grammar schools or private school fees. Hours are long too and social activities are pricey too. The video is informative as it demonstrates perhaps a perception of the grass being greener…

[@abheekdas7595]

Many informations were pointed in the video inaccurate. Everyone fights in middle east to get residency, GP, and specialized filed also subspecialty. The majority is even East asian without saying the nationality they are willing to work as cheap as would you imagine to have a job in middle. Speacilist and consultants' salaries are really comparable to other countries except poor countries. Except residents slightly less bye 750 usd compare to some countries. Yes there's is less patient compare to many large companies, but the amount of overload is high for tranines. For citzenship, yes, you wouldn't get it, but many got it especially was easier for doctors who met the countries criteria got it. General common sense if supply exceeds demand you would expect the rduce of doctors filed. Some few parts were true about training quality compared to some countries, but new systems made to achive better higher quality standards.

After completing the specialist pathway Australia, one has to look for sponsorship by a supervisor in Australia that is also time consuming. After compleying one year of supervised, unpaid work there are good chances of getting a paid job. Is that all correct?

There is no systematic work structure of corporates here. I m in MNC and the way work is structured is worst than any 3rd world country Government office. People with any sort of influence on management are hired as Managers, who were their close mates in other companies or their relatives. Manager word is final, appraisals are a joke. Communication is nil, only benchmarking followed is for Sales or by sales team to increase their sales aligning with competitors. Quality Management is a taboo subject no one even talks about ISO standards and 70% would think ISO would be some sort of organisation like UN.
