WHO (UN) ranking of the world's best health systems:
http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html
U.S is rated 37th (hehehehe take that ;D), UAE 27th, U.K 18th
Ze french have ze best health system followed by Italy. I don't know how much of a reflection this is of their medical schools....but maybe It could help you make a choice.
Even though U.S has the best medical schools, students come out with thousands of dollars in loans, plus you have to do a 3-4 years of pre med first (bleh, you can only do Med as a second degree, such a drag). One of my dad's friends is an anesthesiologist in the U.S and she has to pay $65,000 per annum in insurance(against lawsuits) to be able to practice cause US patients sue... A LOT....(often for no apparently good reason!!) so a major dent to your income, I can't say how widespread this is among doctors in the U.S though, but it seems reasonable
Plus lawsuits make it very difficult for doctors to practice in the U.S. and push up the cost of health care. The same anesthesiologist told us that some doctors will tell you to get a CT Scan if you come in with just a headache (non-chronic that is) just to be safe from lawsuits.
Anyway, there no denying that the U.S has great schools, so if you have the time, go in, study, and GET OUT lol

Agreed.
@tmisterr: Yeah, you are right. In US medicine is like a 12 years course :o
Even for UK, i think its better to go, just study and then come back!
