This story struck me as I'm in a similar position. After 7+ years of working in France, I'd like to once again work in my native language - and preferably in my native country near to my family and friends. However, I now have a partner who is French and she would be subject to a large visa fee/health charges (we calculated it to be around 7000 GBP but maybe it's more?) with no guarantee of being able to work etc, so ultimately we've opted for trying out Ireland instead.
And yes, I am a doctor, so one less health professional for the country.
