Medical school in India is dogshit compared to the U.S.

The AMA needs to focus on building homegrown native doctors instead of importing a bunch of IMGs from countries where the quality of schooling is subpar compared to the West

MAJOR BUST: Kerala Police arrested 11 suspects in a massive pan-India fake degree racket. Over 100,000 counterfeit certificates seized from 22 universities — medicine, nursing & engineering — with estimates of up to 1 MILLION fake degrees in circulation worldwide.

Raids across Kerala, Tamil Nadu & Karnataka uncovered printers, fake seals, holograms & forged signatures. Degrees sold for ?75k–1.5L each, used for jobs & visas abroad, including in the U.S.

Lives are on the line. How many “qualified” professionals slipped through?

You could walk up to a random person in WalMart and show them the artificial valve and tell them what it was and ask them which way in this suppose to go in. More than would get it right with no training at all. That's about the easiest part of putting in an artificial valve.

Typically, everyone is sued. Doctors, circulating nurses, charge nurses, the hospital, etc.

There are multiple pairs of eyes that see what's going on during surgery. Good lawyers will pit people against each other to get at the truth.

Ultimately, the hospital, Doctors and nurses insurance pay.

I don't know if that makes it better, or worse. It would be interesting to pull his medical records from those institutions and see how he actually performed there.

Though it is not specified anywhere that I can find, it sounds like, from descriptions of the echocardiography, the girl's pulmonary valve was being replaced. Sometimes that is done using a prosthetic aortic valve as replacement. Regardless, it would usually be done with a pig or human cadaver valve, and it is difficult to envision how one of those could be placed "upside down" by even a semicompetent surgeon.

Thank goodness it sounds like she was eventually transferred, diagnosed appropriately, re-operated on, and survived.

I would be inclined to think the same thing.

However, in this case, given the magnitude of mistake, I wonder if this fellow was passed through those programs with knowledge that he was not up to standard. For obvious reasons, I would hope at some point in the near future that possibility would be thoroughly investigated.

He put in a heart valve upside down.

I mean, I could be wrong, but that seems like it may matter.
