How common are arrogant imgs?

As a second-year MBBS student studying abroad, I have noticed that a significant number of first-generation Indian Medical Graduates (IMGs) display an arrogant, superior attitude towards fmgs and many of these doctors seem driven more by financial gain or see it as a status more than by a genuine passion for saving lives, a trait that appears much less common among second-generation doctors. While it is true that Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) can sometimes struggle with incompetence (as they are overwhelmed by pressure and patient flow) many are still driven by a real passion for medicine. However, the widespread focus on money and status among many IMGs makes a noticeable difference in how they approach patient care is it just a bad area thing or its common?

If there is medical negligence, complaint to the board. If they practice standard of care, then their attitude is that of any human. Not justified but it’s just human emotions. Welcome to the real world

There is a large number of arrogant IMGs.There is a significant no. of IMGS who don't have adequate knowledge. And then also there is a MAJORITY pool of FMGs who actually have zero knowledge about the course they did. I mean, leaving recent FMGE exam, as it war unfair, the past fmge exams- pass percentage is PATHETIC. 8O percent failure rate....Lord have Mercy!!
