More foreign-born doctors practice in rural areas, come from poor nations; Kentucky is about average, West Virginia is high

More than 15 percent of physicians in the U.S. received training in lower-income countries, including India, Pakistan and the Phillippines, a new study has found, reports Lori Kersey of The Charleston Gazette. The study was a joint effort by the National Research Council and the Stanley Medical Research Institute, and was published online on PLoS ONE.

Most doctors from low-income countries practice in low-income areas of the U.S., where most U.S.-trained doctors don't usually want to go. West Virginia has the most such doctors, at 29 percent all of physicians in the state. Kentucky has 16 percent, just above the national average of 15.4 percent. Montana, Idaho and Alaska all have less than 2 percent.

The authors of the study said low-income countries that send most of their doctors to the U.S. lost more money training them than they receive in U.S. foreign aid. In 2010, the Phillippines spent $1.7 billion training more than 20,000 doctors who then came to the U.S., but was only given $33 million in U.S. foreign aid. The authors suggest the U.S. should pay those countries back in some way. (Read more)

How to Get Your Boyfriend to Reconcile With You - 3 Tips to Get Him To Want You Back

You wish that you did not think about him so much, but you cannot help the fact that you do. He's your ex boyfriend right now, but deep down inside you want to be able to make him become your current boyfriend again. Through all of the ups and the downs, you have to admit that he really was a good guy and that maybe things ended a little too soon. That happens way too often today, and most people just seem to accept it as the way that it is. What if it did not have to be that way, though? What if could end up making him want to come back to You?

Here's how to get your boyfriend back and make him want to reconcile with you:

1. If he is going to come back to you, you have to make it seem like it is happening on his terms.

Guys can be kind of stubborn, especially in the context of dating and relationships, and if you are going to win him back, then he needs to feel like he is the one making the decision. The funny thing is, there are things that you can do to guide him in the right direction, but he will still assume that it was his idea to get back together with You.

2. You have to entice him to come back to you by being a little seductive with him.

One of the easiest ways to get an ex boyfriend thinking about you again is to deliberately entice him by being a little on the seductive side. You don't want to go too far with this, because he has to want you without getting what he wants to feel like coming back. Still, the more seductive that you can be around your ex boyfriend, the more likely it is that he WILL be thinking about you.

3. He needs to feel that there is a real possibility that some other guy may end up with you.

Sometimes using jealousy as a way to get him to think about getting back together can actually be pretty effective. If your ex boyfriend is feeling like you are always going to be around, then there really is no sense of urgency for him to want to come back to you as soon as possible. Hint around at the fact that you are not always going to be around and he just may come back.
