You WILL make waves when you come to Singapore. Please come to Singapore. We need more foreign trained doctors. The local standard is falling.

The comment referring to sheeps was directed to the petty mindedness of the poster who is afraid of "foreign talent" stealing jobs.

I have worked hard and I am proud of my achievements thus far. On the other hand, I am not delusional to think that I will come to make waves in Singapore. I enjoy my work taking care of my patients, and enjoy the academic rigors that research provides. I'm really not looking to take over their jobs anyway.

3 proverbs for you:

"Real gold does not fear the test of fire".

"A rising tide raises all ships".

"A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep"

I searched the local association for my subspecialty, and majority have fewer publications, H-index or citation counts than me (even the president of the association). And many of these publications are in journals that most of us in North America have never heard of...
