Doctors fleeing the country.
The Globe and Mail: Finally, more doctors returning to Canada than leaving
Well, not quite. But Canadian Doctors are leaving the US and heading back north, despite the fact that they get paid twice as much here. Since they also do about three times as much paperwork, perhaps we can understand why...
Come to think of it, there are more doctors per capita in Canada than in the US. Basic supply and demand would thus suggest that Canadian doctors get paid less, yes? And, if Canadian doctors are complaining of overwork, how must our own doctors be feeling? Perhaps that is why malpractice rates are so high in this country. The question then becomes: how does the US system attract as many people into med. School as the Canadian system does? Obviously “more money” isn’t the solution...
