One physician I know got a J1 for practice in a small town about 30 miles outside a major metropolitan area. Sure enough he bought a million dollar house in the city, opened a satellite office in the city, and now exclusively practices in the city. This same doctor sports a handicapped placard hanging from the rearview mirror of his Mercedes even though he has no disability. <br/><br/>Sorry but some of these folks have come from corrupt environments in other countries and exploit every opportunity here as a result. This has nothing to do with the quality of medicine practiced, but everything to do with the integrity of the medical profession. Many, many of these VISAS are abusive.
