I accept that not everybody can do what works for you (or me, for that matter).
For instance, I wouldn't have a clue who to trust to do competent work overseas.
I don't need enough **** done to build international medical and dental relationships.
Hell, there are people virtually next door here in the states that partner their practices in the same office.
...and one is way better than the other.

My luck is if I go international that I get Dr. Icepickovich... 

The same risk you have of hacks overseas, you have twice the risk stateside. Because overseas, doctoring and dentisting is just a perfectly respectable profession that offers an upper-middle class lifestyle - like that of a professor or an attorney or a judge. But stateside, if you're a doctor, you have to drive a sports car and ditch the gal that saw you through med school and get a younger version of her and pay enormous child support while supporting your new family in the manner to which your trophy wife demands they become accustomed. 

The illness is systemic, because you leave med school owing a fortune, so you have to earn like a mother **** to pay it off. And then, by the time you have paid it off, you've become covetous of all those big numbers you've been pulling in and barely getting to touch. You've started measuring success not by lives touched but by checks cashed. Same thing happens to dentists. 

In just about every other country, students receive a stipend while attending school. They leave school with no debts.  The mill of covetousness is a course they never run.
