well this is what is happening in our medical scene

*Doctors from abroad form growing pool in Singapore
Hospitals step up recruitment to meet health-care needs

* Medical schools are upping intake to ensure more public doctors - the National University of Singapore will take in 300 students a year by 2011, up from 260 in 2008. Duke Medical School doubled its intake from 26 in 2007 to 50 last year. A third medical schoolat the Nanyang Technological University is under consideration.

well, it is about time. i know of many students who had straight As and were denied a place in the medical faculty...why...because they had a quota...
well- the govt at that time rationalised that they did not want an excess...
somebody has not done their calculations well, it seems

oh man, that explains why our economy is screwed up...perhaps we have to worry about everything now - our buildings are designed by, our finances are taken care of, our children are being taught by....people who actually wanted to be doctors?...

it is all about a matter of timing. in the past, we had enough; now we need more; anyway we neeed tobe selective about the kind of people who are going to be touching our hearts....literally...so there is a need to get in the best...i dont want an exam smart and creative heart surgeon...
