» Academic Medicine taste in London

August 26th, 2010 by Vlad Schlezak

Shortly after I began a foray into academic medicine in a prestigious institution with centuries of medical history and obtained a research position for 8 months at Barts and The London in Academic Psychiatry. Places are highly competitive in academic medicine –  only 120 per capital. As part of  Academic Foundation Programme I am very [...]

» Scurt dialog cu Antena 1 (pentru Observator 19, 13 iulie 2010)

July 23rd, 2010 by Dr. Felicia Elena Buruiana

In data de 12 iulie am fost rugata sa raspund la cateva intrebari pentru Antena 1, respectiv Observator 19 din 13 iulie, in legatura cu plecarea medicilor din Romania.

» Impresii de Calatorie

July 10th, 2010 by Alin

Ma apropii curand de sfarsitul celor 2 ani de Foundation Training in UK si ceva mai mult de 2 ani de cand am inceput sa lucrez efectiv ca medic aici si m-am gandit ca ar putea fi util sa pun pe “hartie electronica” cateva impresii de calatorie. Inainte de a veni in UK nu apucasem [...]

» Weekend Downtime

July 5th, 2010 by Dragos Carmaciu (Admin)

As you may have noticed the Website was down on Saturday (3rd of July) for a quite extended period of time. This was not scheduled and was dealt with very poorly by our web hosts and thus we have been restored to an old backup and have lost some of the last-week’s articles/posts. Sorry about [...]

» Satisfacţia de a readuce zâmbetul pe feţele pacienţilor

June 23rd, 2010 by shrinkescu

În toamna anului 1990 aterizam pe Heathrow Airport din Londra, lăsând în urmă o Românie care nu îl mai avea pe Ceauşescu la cârmă, dar care nu corespundea nici pe departe aspiraţiilor mele de la vremea respectivă. Oarecum naive, prin idealismul lor! Absolvisem Liceul German din Bucureşti în 1980 şi Facultatea de Medicină Generală în [...]

» “Jurnalul National” ne-a intrebat…noi am raspuns (editiile 3 si 4 iunie 2010, Bucuresti)

June 14th, 2010 by Dr. Felicia Elena Buruiana

“MEDICII N-AU SANSE FARA PROTECTIE SAU PROPTELE” Pentru că în România s-au lovit de mitocănie, nesimţire, birocraţie şi şpagă, patru medici au ales să profeseze în Franţa şi Anglia. Ei ne-au povestit despre motivele care i-au determinat să părăsească România pentru a-şi face meseria aşa cum în ţara noastră pare că este aproape imposibil. de [...]
