If the doctors who are trained at Cook County Hospital (Chicago) are
not being trained in government-run facility, then who is training
them?

No, I will accept that a state government can train doctors. but I was
talking about the Feds, when I complained that they didn't train doctors
in
any of their military facilities, or Army hospitals. And I was very
disturbed when they shut down these hospitals back in the 80's. How many
doctors are taught every year in the Cook County Hospital? And how does
the
AMA handle this? They can lobby state senators too, can't they? Is Chicago
a
special case?

Special case? Hardly. Medical schools are part of a university.
Many universities are state universities. Graduates of medical
schools go become interns in hospitals and then residents in a
teaching hospital. Many teaching hospitals are state or county
hospitals.

I know that USC teaches 100 doctors a year.....In that huge, stainless steel
campus, they only teach 100 lousy doctors a year.....What a crock!! I wonder
how many doctors a year are taught nationwide. I bet its not enough to spit
on. And this is the fault of government. Our congressmen are in the pockets
of the AMA. I guess it really doesn't matter whether or not Obama's health
plan is ratified. Its a lost cause anyway......

You "know" that, hunh. What I found is that USC Medical Center has
450 full-time faculty physicians, and 900 interns and residents.
(Interns and residents are doctors in the process of being taught, in
case you don't know that.) It could be that 100 residents leave the
program each year after completing their residency. Some of the
interns will leave the program and take up residency in other
hospital's programs.

Currently, medical schools in the US graduate about 19,000 MDs and DOs
each year. If you can hawk up a loogie that sprays 19,000 people, you
may be right.
