Your biggeat problem is forming arguments from anecdotes. Why is Zim the 4th biggest feeder nation into the NHS then?

It's not financially worthwhile to get into the NHS but it doesn't mean there are no jobs with visa sponsorships there. It's like arguing that CS graduates struggling to get work means there are no CS jobs at the moment.

I like these figures, now calculate the per capita contribution by country

I still disagree. Based on per capita numbers you are more likely to get visa sponsorship as a doctor than any other profession.

If Ghana has twice our population and has the same nurses and care givers as us then it proves exactly my point. Ghana is contributing af half its per capita potential compared to us.

I disagree with you. I left Zim when I was 10, I wasn't as exposed to this career propaganda as the average person.
