( (hair cut is expensive and females usu...)New 'PPUD Syndrome' Prevalent Among Indian Doctors In Britain ,Health

(hair cut is expensive, and females usually suffer from hirsutism (no money for bleaching and threading).

A senior doctor with the National Health Service said a major reason for the large number of unemployed Indian doctors was the increased frequency of holding the Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board (PLAB) test. This is a mandatory qualifying test for overseas doctors before they can be registered for employment.

The PLAB used to be held twice or thrice a year earlier. Now it is held twice or thrice a week. The success rate is also higher with the result that there are more doctors who have cleared the test but there are just no jobs going around.

After passing the test, the growing army of such doctors remain in Britain to apply for jobs despite facing unemployment, poverty and discrimination. But failure to get jobs means they need to repeatedly get their visas extended, which puts additional strain on their meagre resources.
