American board certified pediatrician

Just because there are some bad HK doctors, which I agree there are, doesn't mean there aren't some excellent ones. Also just because there are some great US doctors doesn't mean there aren't bad ones. I'm a Hong Konger trained in law in the US and I would never say that I am a better lawyer than those trained in HK. Though I know the medical and legal professions are different, I really don't think that it is fair to say the US trained docs are better.

I could cite a thousands of cases where US doctors have done unethical or illegal things. What would be the point? There are good ones and bad ones in every profession.

DrChiu is highly competent just like thousands of his fellow colleagues who have graduated from HK universities. Calling HK doctors incompetent, making broad brush statements such as the ones you are making here is irresponsible.
Next time you visit him, perhaps you can take a moment and repeat to him what you are saying here. I'd love to know his reaction :-)
 
I also wouldn't completely put my trust in the FDA as some of the members are in fact special interest for the things they let pass....
 
I am actually from australia. I lived in Hk, Aus and the us and have seen drs in all 3 countries. I'm simply expressing my personal view that the doctors are more rigorously trained and tend to "play it safe".

I'll buy the observation that they play it safe because they are scared of getting sued. Its drilled into them every step of the way.

I dont buy the argument that they are better trained or just plain "better"; I would love to see some evidence in the form of respected journal articles.
Also, it makes no sense to compare pay packets vs quality. The fact that a US doctor makes a lot more money is a sign of a screwed up health care system and should not be viewed in a positive way.

If you wish to go to a US trained doctor because that is your preference, because you feel better about it, because you like their accent, you love their bedside manner etc etc then by all means, please do. I gave you a link that lists 95% of them.
OTOH dismissing 3 entire nations medical doctors (HK, UK, OZ) out of hand, just because, is just plain ignorant.

I'm very sorry if I offended you. I'm simply saying I prefer us docs bc I feel (in my personal experience) that Hk docs (most seem to have qualifications in UK) cut corners and will not explain things in detail. *American dic explain and disclose everything to the moon and back. *I like that. *I just feel safer sending my children to an American board certified doc! *That's all! *

I say all doctors have their own individual styles and should be treated individually no matter where they grew up and went to school.
 
Audrey's mom - we as a family have had good expereinces with HK docs. There are docs and there are docs. In the same vein I could say ALL HK docs are excellent and the best etc... That would be equally silly.

I Respect your preference but that doesnt make US medical system better than any other OR vice versa.
 
I do not think the american SYSTEM is better. I think the american system is the worst in the world. In my humble OPINION -- my opinion only-- Australia and HK has the best SYSTEM. Only those who can afford the ridiculous cost of care will get good care in the US. It's sad but not everyone in the US has access to quality medical care. However the quality of care (which not all Americans receive) I firmly believe, and others are free to disagree, is better in the US
