the U.S.
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
If you've ever wondered why doctor care is so atrocious in the U.S.
medical system, with doctor-prescribed drugs now the third leading cause
of death in the country, part of the answer might be that some doctors
shouldn't be practicing in the first place. The U.S. medical system
allows doctors who graduated from banned offshore medical schools (in
the Dominican Republic, for example) to "play doctor" right here in the
USA.

pursue careers after graduating offshore medical schools that have not

- Graduates of Spartan Health Sciences University on the Caribbean
island of St. Lucia and two schools in the Dominican Republic --- the
Universidad Tecnologica de Santiago and the Universidad Eugenio Maria de
Hostos --- are banned in at least six states.
