I think most doctors have an elitist attitude that doesn't help much in matters leadership and management. Most are cold, individualistic, albeit bright people who do not know a thing other than medicine which doesn't make for the greatest thinkers or managers of other people. Their social networks do not go beyond family, patient relatives and professional friends, paramedics... And such high profile appointments as Ministerial positions need emotional intelligence and that is a rare commodity among those of the noble profession of medicine.
!!!! McReggae, my brother, that's a really sad assessment of Kenyan doctors. Pray tell why most of them are now working in US, UK, SA, Germany, Australia etc? We lose hundreds of doctors each year to foreign countries because our doctors are at par with any other doctor anywhere in the world. The point is not on their capabilities in the profession but rather on the other life skills outside of medicine.The description by Mc is near perfect.They are poorly socialized and cannot lead even a women group in shags.As for them working in US, UK, SA and Germany, not very sure. Dig further and find out what they do.You will be surprised to learn it is not medicine(Dr) but other jobs in the medical world . I know many doctors who are sociable and excellent managers. Prof Magoha is a surgeon and he is the VC at UoN. A wonderful job he is doing there, I must say. I find no reason to conclude that since the few doctors you have met or interacted with fall below your expected levels of social vim, then the whole bag of apples must be rotten. Apart from a medical job, what else primarily would a trained doctor from Kenya go to do in the US, Europe or Asia? Not a nurse, a doctor. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.
