[1] Der Exodus der Ärzte (In German) - While the medical climate in the US may be less than optimal (or screwed up even), it can't be as bad as Germany where 50% of the doctors that train there leave to practice somewhere else, creating a physician shortage. While a lot emigrate to other European nations, some go to Australia. Who knows - with the way things are in the US, I may end up going "Down-Under" as well. I've visited once, and really enjoyed it. And I would enjoy their more practically-orientated educational model (according to the article), rather than getting mired in all this theoretical BS that no-one ever uses anyways.
