guys I know that this thread won t help much but I still need to do it...
Why everytime someone comes and says something we have to react so violently?
can t you realize that this is the image we create about IMG?
Don t you realize guys that you re creating a bad image of a low tolerance,revengefull,mean,selfish type of personality?
Is that hard to realize that being an IMG implies also responsibilities we need to respect?Why we have to read always cursed words adrresed to our mothers,brothers and so on?
don t you realize that not even your parents won t be proud of you,not to mention the american medical world....
wake up guys once and for all and before posting something take a deep breath ,think again,and even if you want to say something use appropiate ;anguage for a doc,not the one heared in a sunday morning in the hood or in the fish market...
To be honest with you your harm to medical world of img wis hard to measure...
I know normal american people telling me that IMG don t know to behave,they loose control easily and so on....
being a doctor is a priviledge,is not a regular job.
crawling the meaning of this wonderfull job in the mud with bad words is not only a slap on the face of medical world but also a disgrace for you as individual.
I know that feelings of frustration are much deeper in an IMG,but thing also that an AMG has to pay almost 250 000 dollars when finishes medical school. How do you think it feels him in case they don t match?
Even if they match still they have to pay those money for 20 years or more...
So is hard for them is hard for us,but still we are part of the same medical world. We should be unite,and present ourselves that way to make people admire us,not to look in disgust and say: this guy is a doc?
It is so easy to harm,and yet so hard to do something meaningfull.
so IMG please show some decency...
The respect needs to be earned...

riddick... well said... its not some thing just you have to do it... its needed to be done by everyone... good start anyways...
about some remarks you made here...
-Why everytime someone comes and says something we have to react so violently?
keeping quite to abuses and disrespectfull words is no solution either.... were you yourself quite when things were said about you...??? being doctors doesnot justify not to have respect.
it is unfortunate that some people still feel great in insulting others.... in reaction some find it better to be quite, and some react violently... (its better to treat the etiology, rather than treating the after effects.)
lately using bad words became fancy on this forum, it was not so earlier here.... before you reply back on my language used in last one week.... let me tell you, this is for the first time i have used these words in my life ( that too in writting) and have never spoke this kind of laguage in my life till today.... i am not giving any explanation, i dont need to... but it was definitly hard to digest the things written on the forum.... some times keeping quite is misunderstood as encouragement, and you have to reply... reply in the same language...
violent reaction is not an answer nor is quitness.... and there are many more such issues in todays world that needs an answer....
IT TAKES YEARS TO EARN RESPECT.... AND SECONDS TO LOOSE IT....
P.S.: good luck to every one who matched, and best wishes to all participating in scramble...
though this messege is not really of much use in this stressfull period, but this is one of the place we spend our time... try making it usefull, quality time by keeping the surroundings clean..
