Why are there so many Indian Doctors?

Indian people are more clever and caring.

True say but most if not all the (indian) doctors I know fit those categories...ok maybe except for broad-mindedness.

Being a doctor has been considered a particularly respectable job in Indian culture - more so than in many other cultures.

It's sort of a "family friendly" profession. After a while of being in the job, you can locate yourself wherever you want (doctors are needed everywhere) so you can be near the rest of your (probably large, close-knit family). You don't have to travel ridiculous distances, you can get very sociable hours if you want them, you can get part-time work if you want it etc. And with all that, it's still fairly decent money, considered "difficult" to get into by academic standards, and respectable work.

For many Indian people, it's everything you could want.

Why are they? i know its beacuse theyve been bullied by parents, but why? why are there so many indian doctors? so many Dr Mohammeds and Ali, I love cultural diversity, but just curious? they have high ratio between population in uk and consultant population?

You mean to say there is actually something out there better than Medicine?

Oh my God I don't believe this, Nehru would be rolling in his grave if he hadn't been cremated.

I mean I once met Ricky Hatton and told him I was going to be a doctor and he seemed pretty envious and disappointed he wasn't clever enough to go to medical school. Sure he has more money than I have (or maybe ever will) but his brains have been bashed to a pulp and he's a junkie in rehab now so the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

You are probably deluded if you believe Ricky Hatton is jelous of you because he wanted to go to Med School.

On my travels I've found that the only people who appreciate the amount of tenacity needed to get into and complete med school are the ones who are themselves applying, or have failed in applying.

No-one else gives a ****

you'll find most with the surname Mohammed or Ali tend to be Pakistani or Bangladeshi although it's worth remembering they were both part of India once.
