New doctors need to give up sense of entitlement
THERE ARE MORE DOCTORS than ever before; yet two million Canadians can’t find one.
An estimated 30,000 Kamloopsians don’t have a family doctor, although only about one-half of them are looking if national averages apply.
Something doesn’t add up. Why can’t Canadians find a doctor if there is a surplus? It’s complicated.
First, recent graduates of medical schools can’t find the residency they want. Without a residency, they will never become doctors.
