I can foresee the day when interpreters will also be needed for the
doctors. Our government finds it cheaper to import doctors (some with
very questionable qualifications) from third-world countries than to
fund the universities and hospitals to train doctors. As the shortage
grows, it's becoming harder to find doctors who speak a clear and
understandable English.


An interesting variant invented by the NHS is to train the
medical students for four or five years in University and then
devise a system for allocating first medical jobs that imports
students/junior doctors from Eastern Europe at the same time as
failing to find a job for the graduating UK medical students.
This is so as to ensure 'equality of opportunity'.

I hope I've got this wrong, but as far as I can make out, in Western Australia at least it is the doctor's trade union or whatever they call it that keeps new graduates out, so that the government is forced to make up the shortfall with non-English speaking doctors from the Balkans. I suspect this is how "Dr Death" came to be employed in Queensland too.
