Gotta Cure 'Em All: CDU Proposes Repayment Plan for Foreign Med Students Who Flee Post-Graduation
CDU to Maintain Presence of International Medical Students in the Nation
Gossip Central Rumor Mill Whispers in the Wind Mail Me Print This Out Copy Link Germany's CDU, in a desperate bid to address the nation's dire need for more doctors, plans to slap foreign medical students with a bill if they abandoned ship post-degree.
The CDU has had enough of foreigners swarming in for a German education, only to take off once they've got their fancy new doctorate. Sepp Müller, the deputy chairman of the Union faction, threw some harsh words at the "Bild" paper, stating bluntly, "Those who studied here, should tend to the farmers' ailing cattle in the boondocks for at least five years. Those who hate the idea, better damn well payback for this lavish education."
Political Hoopla "Medical Armageddon" Germany Short 5000+ Family Docs Tino Sorge, Germany's Health Department honcho, pleaded for the country to nab and bind these talented healers to German soil. Sorge told "Bild", "We need to keep these prized wonders in our ranks instead of mournfully waving them off as they jet to their homelands."
The Union faction's research policy dude, Florian Müller, suggested that the states should sort out the nitty-gritty repayment details. He told "Bild", "We gotta work double-time to make sure international talent sticks around post-university."
