* What a bunch of Hippocrates !!

  Okay, I do not post regularly on this forum but having read the stuff posted here over the last few days I thought I'd add my two cents. First of all I think this forum is full of a bunch of Hippocrates. I read the post by iv asking for money to cancel his interviews.....I think his post was one of the funniest ones I read and was meant to be a bit of a joke. But the way people on this forum attacked him calling him a "disgrace to the profession" and even going on to call his mother a donkey ... I think you people who are attacking him with words like that are a bigger disgrace to the profession for using words like that. If you cannot hold yourself from reacting with such harsh words just because you are in a little bit of stress you guys don't deserve to be doctors..... I mean you will be in bigger stress when you have someones life in your hands.......IV might hurt someone because of his poor ethics (and thats considering he was being serious) You guys on the other hand are going to be killing your patients just by being yourselves.

Who made all you guys the moral judge of character to tell someone to stop being a doctor. You guys are okay with getting pirated version of Kaplan Notes and NBME's, but someone even makes a little joke about asking for money to cancel his interviews you all freaking burst an aneurysm.

No one on this freaking forum can answer someone else's question without asking for their credentials.....how is it any of yours business ?? Its surprising to see how you all think its somehow your god given right to come and practice in the US.. Since most of you guys are from India let me tell you one thing about India fellows....the Indian Medical Council does not even recognize any medical school outside of India .... so good luck for trying to practice in India if you go to a med school outside of India.

So before you guys go around telling other people what to do and what not to do ... might want to look at your self and get your own moral bearing straight.

  look drpcox, clearly I know a lot more than you do about MCI, so stop arguing. You were not even aware of the test until I told you. Now you quickly googled their website and are trying to act smart on the forum which you are anything but. And I have friends you did their medical graduation from outside India, never informed MCI BEFORE, passed the test and are now registered with MCI. You obviously have no clue how it works here. And googling websites and copying their stuff is not called general knowledge.

  i didn't read the kuru's question. No, there is no test for specialties, just for MBBS. Infact none is required. You can do surgery or practice anything you feel comfortable with on a MBBS license.

  This is not googled information dude this is my experience with MCI....I am in final year of medicine in the US and my parents are from India ... I thought I'd get my licence in India because my parents have a practice there .... that how I know. If you want to read more about it ... here is a complete except from the website. You friend might have been able to get certified if he/she was pre 2002.

If you consider yourself to be such a authority stop freaking using things like "my friend did this and that" and provide proof. I have provided my proof so now you provide your proof. I am sure you know how science works.
