Are you someone who has left their country of birth to move and settle somewhere else, or who is thinking of doing so in the future? What led you to take that decision, or what is making you consider it? What have your experiences been until now, and what do you expect and hope for in the future?

I am myself someone from Spain who's going to finish a degree in a couple of years and who's going to see himself working for the state for just a few cents above minimum wage and even taking a few mandatory 24 hour-long shifts every month that straight up go against EU regulations.

I have been considering Sweden as a future destination. I will not deny that the prospect of such change is rather intimidating, although I'm every time more inclined for it as the other alternative becomes an increasingly worse state-sponsored exploitation.

Hi fellow Spanish healthcare trainee!

There's a total of two (2) of us! Although honestly in a site as small as this one, I would say it's a rather big coincidence. It's also hilarious that one can tell it's healthcare I was talking about just by mentioning 24 hour shifts... Hilariously depressing, that is.

So, what about you? Have you resigned yourself to taking the MIR or are you too searching for more life north of the Pyrenees?

MIR it will be for now... Although my plan is to get a Master's in Biomedical Engineering and end up designing those cool machines that are used in hospitals. My TFG consists on building an ultrasound machine, which I'm kinda managing to do. Also, anyway, gotta stay for the revolution, right? ;)

Ah, I used to think the same once. But seeing the workload that one has here, I doubt I would even have time to organize at all after the MIR. I already don't have the time now, so just imagine how things will get later... Besides, ours is an international movement, so if you're here or there matters little imo.
