Do you think doctors in the USA are worse than doctors in other countries?

Do you think doctors in the USA are worse than doctors in other countries?
I have visited doctors in several countries, but I never witnessed doctors as arrogant and careless as doctors in the USA. It seems they are trained to completely ignore the patient, make snap judgements, and get you out of the office...seems they care only about money...they take no pride in their actual work, just their pay checks. I have visited doctors in Switzerland, German, Brazil, Jamaica, Ukraine, Canada, and Costa Rica, and I did not see this kind of behavior...What do you guys think?

I cannt speak for all countries, but American doctors are mostly concerned about $$$$$$ and getting respect from the public. I feel American medical schools have failed in picking good candidates.

Only the doctors from Kenya that only had to take 6 years of college to get their license to practice medicine.

all they care about is MONEY$$$$$ and not helping other people so i would rate them 2 of 10 and other rescue places such as RSPCA id rate them 8 of 10 so id say they have the worst service in the world so i hate them

it could have possibly just been the doctors in america that you met. i've only ever had 2 that were careless. i do agree though that some only care about the money. but you'll come across one that trully cares here and there.

The doctors in the U.S. are by far the best in the world. People from all over the world come to the United States for treatment they can not get in their home countries. This includes the richest people and even heads of state from countries which are not on friendly terms with the U.S. I have never known anyone who has gone to as many doctors in so many countries as you have. I'm not trying to be disrespectful but are you sure you perception of doctors in the U.S is based on the performance of the doctors and not your attitude? As for me I'm glade I grew up in the U.S. where I was able get excellent medical care. It looks now like that may be a thing of the past, but it was great while it lasted.

Yes you are right about a lot of the US doctors. Especially private practice ones. I Think that Doctors from other countries have a more controlled environment. or so I've heard. Like Canada that has a health care system for everyone. The Doctors take more time with the Patients so that they can take care of everything in one Visit. While here Doctors control their own surroundings
