Posted on: Patient who shot doctor had complained of care

I do think that lisaB1965's comment is very cruel and mean at a time like this.
One of the reasons why nurses and medical practitioners leave their practice is lack of appreciation from the people they serve.
And before you say QUACK, please investigate, and you would probably find out that these doctors passed the USMLE (4 very difficult exams altogether) did their residency training for 4-5 years or more, then take more exams to be board certified.
One physician devotes at least 15 to 20 years (after graduating from high school) going through medical school and residency training. Calling one physician QUACK is very unfair, to say the least.
And these foreign nurses- actually went to school and trained 5-6 years before they can graduate then be allowed to take and pass the NCLEX, which is the licensing exam for all RNs, even for the US trained nurses.
My condolences to the family.
