Bribery

From The Guardian:

Romanian medical student Claudia Radu, 33, trained in hospitals in Bucharest and the northern Romanian county of Maramures before coming to work as a junior doctor in Britain in 2004. She says that due to corruption in the medical profession half of her year group has left to find work abroad. Here, she relates her personal experiences of bribery in her country's healthcare system and why she chose to leave Romania to work as a doctor in London

Bribery in Romania is everywhere

This sort of corruption will continue to exist if doctors keep getting small wages. Anyway, we're all used to bribery; it's a standard procedure now.

You think this healthcare system is bad? See how they treat people in the US. ;)

Yes, but they do that legally

PS: Good ideea about upping the pay... Actually, it`s quite a logical one...

Of course it is, but I honestly don't see that happening anytime soon.

And yes, they do it legally, but if you don't have insurance, if you picked the wrong hospital, or if you have insurance and need an expensive operation that's "experimental", but which could save your life, they'll just watch you die. Money is worth more than a man's life, apparently.

I hate bribing...it's nasty !
