Do foreign trained docs save more lives?

From the BMJ:

Conclusions Data on older Medicare patients admitted to hospital in the US showed that patients treated by international graduates had lower mortality than patients cared for by US graduates.

And slightly lower cost per case.

Brad Flansbaum’stake:

I will take an IMG to work by my side any day of the week. You need to be twice as smart, motivated, and industrious to make your way to American shores.
