There was ethics too. In the UCAT.
It was a lot easier for me to get behind / convey British ethical / moral sensibility than whatever it was the Australians wanted to see.
The cultural norm in NZ / Australia is that it is acceptable to basically say that you don't have a moral / ethical sensibility. People are very upfront open and honest about it. People don't feel that they need to conceal it, at all. People just say 'this is the way things are here it is our cultural norm' or whatever. What are you going to do about it? Just so long as someone else is worse than them they feel that they can just ride the slipstream. They just hide in packs or groups.
Medical students aren't any kind of exception. Are perhaps worse than the norm, even.
I think there is some truth to the idea that they intentionally select for psychopathy.
I think people here really truly and genuinely thought that we couldn't afford to train / hire specialists and there was a shortage of GPs. But it seems to me GPs have been holding back the development of medicine in NZ. They don't want to put forward capable people. They want the people to be chucked back and down... Back to them... Back to their secluded communities where they reign with all the money all the power all the resources and about .2 of a job.
To whinge and bitch and moan about how there aren't enough of them (with only .2 of a job).
To not process the applications of people wanting to become GPs...
