...sigh...
Now call it free and illegal again, and I will be spending some of that healthcare money tonight. Checking myself into a fucking insane asylum.

Perhaps literacy in the US is in decline, eh, my hoser comrade?
At any rate, I hear you about foreign docs. I have two anecdotal examples to share. My wife is friends with a lady doc from the US, an Ob-Gyn - unlike a doc from say, Egypt, she only has to pass an exam to practice solo (she can practice supervised in a hospital setting until then, is my understanding).
She failed her first shot at the exam. I'm glad we have that safeguard in place. She'll probably pass next time, but until then she is unqualified.
In another instance, we took our daughter to a clinic (after hours) and there was an Israeli doctor there. English was obviously not his first language - he wrote down some information incorrectly and I had a hard time understanding him. Israel is a well educated country, I don't doubt their docs are well qualified - but language is a problem. I'd like to see all the non-English/French docs spend about a year doing nothing but learning the language.
