The main reason why Ireland...and the UK are running short of doctors has to do with

1.Limited training spaces.(UK has that problem)...infact many students from Ireland go aboard to study. Including ironically, the same Eastern Europe.

2.Very high entrance standards (they may not look at you unless you have something like 3 A stars at A level)

Exactly, many British, Americans, Germans, Irish and Canadians studied/and still study in Romania. It's affordable and same standard obtainable within the EU.

At the end, everyone will have to defend their certificates, irrespective of how they got it.

Francis also married an EU citizen, so as to avoid the British PLAB, but his very strong igbotic accent was why he couldn't register in UK.

Francis Megwa and his crew (Gucci, Ogbonna etc) were very unserious students in school. They were the big boys, always clubbing and never attended classes, that's the only reason he would not be able to tell who an obstetrician is. They flexed all through medical school and while Gucci ventured out of medicine after graduation into business because he was from a very rich home, the others tried to catch up.

Some of them were lucky to find themselves in hospitals that took their time to retrain them but obviously Francis was unlucky. Though not surprised because he was Gucci's right handman. So, they were never in school but Gucci was rich enough to sort their way through. I guess he just needed the doctor title attached to his name.

Romania wasn't in anyway racist to her international medical students, everyone had access to patients and were allowed to touch patients. You just had to be able to speak the language with the patients, which was taught in the first 2yrs.

Many IMG from Romania went to same Ireland, UK, Germany and USA and they're very good doctors. There are unserious people in all fields and in all countries. It has nothing to do with any particular country.

Francis I'm really sorry you had to go through this painful and regrettable path. May God see you through this phase and guide you in His best path for you.
