This is the reason your ER doctors are leaving: You don’t have a family doctor, and you can’t get an admission bed. So you end up waiting and waiting in the ER for a physician (www.thestar.com)

Back when I was in school, there were at least 3 people in my grade ( of like 30 kids) that both wanted to become a doctor and had the grades to probably do it. Not a single one of them was able to afford the schooling.

Canada really needs to do more for potential medical students. Why is the most important industry gatekept by wealth?

Because of the influence of our neighbors to the south.

We need to look to the EU as a point of reference.
