Overseas doctor

Delete. This is an extremely POV ramble, not an article. It contains numerous inaccuracies and statements without verification. There is a need for comment, within the article NHS for example, on the use of overseas staff (and not only doctors) but this is no contribution to the discussion, and has no place in WP--Smerus 05:57, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete OR/POV without stated sources. --E ivind ^t ^@^c 15:23, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - this is not original research. I'm one of the principal authors. Everything in this article is known to members of the first-world medical professions. The phrase "OTD" is standard medical jargon, and it has precisely the meaning given in the text. - Richardcavell 23:35, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'd be more inclined to keep this if there was a source saying that this is a major issue of contention in the UK. The article would then need to be rewritten to conform to a more worldwide view, as we are an international encyclopedia... And then, it would certainly have to be renamed. Or, it could just be deleted. Grand master ka 00:34, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happy to source it - I have a medical library right here at work - but it's going to end up deleted so I won't bother. This is a major source of contention, trust me. Have a look at http://www.qphci.qld.gov.au/ and you will see this is a big political issue here in Australia. Also look at R v Mulhem, in which an OTD in Britain killed a guy and the fact that he was an OTD became a big deal (there is a presumption that a doctor from Syria just ain't as good as a British one). - Richardcavell 01:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which section of that do I look at? Any news sources you can think of/dig up? Grand master ka 02:10, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
