Red, you are making a HUGE mistake.  The British health care system is sadly lacking, and therefore the ability to train physicians is concomitantly poor.  While I sympathize with your desire to leave the USA (Medicare and managed care cutting into that 250,000/year income, and all) and I'm sure it will be easier to get licensed out of the USA with that rape allegation, but I think you are seeking the wrong venue.

Might I suggest:

1.  University of Baghdad Medical School.   A superb facility, recently built with Saddam's money, and recently "deconstructed" by the joint forces.  Real world training in trauma surgery.  Real world conditions for the energy starved future, maintaining patients on 2 1/2 hours of electricity per day.  And you can ENLIST, and the USA will pay your transport cost.  Also, close to the trendy beaches in Israel.

2.  Tehran Medical School.  A fine school, although the lack of renovation or even cleaning since the days of the Shah have dampened the excitement.  No cadaver training here -- doctors (and just plain old sickos) get to do surgery on live hostages!   Similar to the Iraqui school, and some say an up-and-coming "hot spot" for young doctors...go ahead, make a plunge in Al Quiada futures and enroll today!

3.  McMurdo Basin School of the Health Sciences.   Hey, mate, you really can go "way down under" with the nursing staff here!   Experts in cryosurgical technique.  And...they speak ENGLISH.

4.  Idi Amin School of Medical and Mortuary Science.  You know, you can't go wrong with a school that makes its own cadavers....1000s of them!   Specializing in live crucifiction medicine, and "truth telling" using jumper cables and car batteries.  They say kids are DYING to get into this school, and they are right!

5.  Finally, who can forget the North Korean School of Medicine?   Surely not Kim Jon Il.  Specializing in hair transplant technique, forced feeding and the rape of stray nurses from neighboring countries, this fine institution graduates at least 3 "doctors" a decade!  And you can practice in lovely Pynongyong, where EVERYONE needs a doctor.

Oh, and red....Bon Voyage!
