I think that there is a bit of truth to both arguments. There are a lot of very smart people in the west who never had the chance to study medicine (there seem to be a lot of American janitors with high IQs...) - Under a communist regime, those who are mentally able to become a doctor can generally do so; in the west there are many financial and social hurdles. Communism removes the element of luck from the system. I don't think it's quite fair to portray the doctors as having being treated unfairly though I also understand that it might feel that way.
