Yeah right. And where are they going to go?
Many may go back home to India.
Yeah right. And where are they going to go?
There's plenty of evidence that that's true, mainly their low pay relative to their education level. Is there any evidence that that's not true?HA! And most doctors say they are their because they enjoy to help people:rofl
It looks like the poll is bogus.

the doctor shortage, or brain drain, has been a huge problem in canadian health care for years
i can find you tens of links from govt websites, the provinces and ottawa in turn promising the citizenry to fix this problem which everyone agrees is serious, going back more than a decade

you'll be shocked at what THEY ADMIT TO
Obama is sickening. He pulls a bunch of white coats up on stage as if the medical community is completely "behind him" on this. Obviously, they are not.
Yes, Canadian doctors who are not by any means underpaid ( earning at least $100 000 a year) tended to go to the US to earn even more money.
The low CAD at the time was also a significant issue
A secondary issue is that during the 80-90's spots in medicals schools were cut to limit the number of doctors being trained
You are 19 and you are a pre-med student. Are you aware how many pre-med students there are? Seriously, kid. You might not even be accepted into med school yet you are calling yourself a "pre-med" student. My best advice is to study something that you like without the plan on becoming a doctor.
Because the chances of you becoming a doctor even with a good GPA are not likely. I have known many associates who studied pre-med and didn't get in, and they were smart too. Perfect GPA, good score on their exams. Still nothing. Of the 13 I know. Four of them got into med school, if you want more advice, I suggesst you study biology & chemistry as a double major. And get a good GPA. Remember the Medical Association of America/American Doctor Association do not want for too many people to study medicine. It's a racket really.
But you won't believe me anyways.
Yeah, that's the attitude we want doctors to have.
Dude, why do you have doctors so much? Get kicked out of med school or something?

one can only imagine the pressure applied by the public
We shouldn't cut doctors salaries, if anything we should raise them..
Will your personal doctor give up his/her practice if Obamacare passes?
Its been said that the world's strongest union is the AMA.Idle threats from all but the ones who should have retired already or fleeced the public enough to be able to afford to retire.....
I do not know what to think about this..The way it works over here?
You intern for 4 years. You get a registrar position (assistant specialist) Then a specialist position.
Once you get that, you can either open your own fully private practice (bloody expensive and not gaurenteed income) or you can go down one of two routes. You can either charge the state an agreed fee of X amount per public patient which gaurentees you a steady stream of work. Or you can site your offices in a state hospital with all of the staff and facilities paid for by the state and your rent is two or so days a week seeing public patients. You also get covered by state insurance and are entitled to a pension.
My doctor and I have talked quite a bit about this. He's all for heathcare reform but then....he's one of those "progressives".
LMAO!!
:lol:
