I saw an interview with Fox's medical expert and he described the various injuries and indicated that most are very easy to treat within a certain amount of time. He seemed bewildered...

I get frustrated with these damn TV 'experts' who haven't seen the patient, an x-ray, a blood test or even talked to the attending physician, who get on TV and spout-off on stuff like this.

No, he wasn't drawing any conclusions, he was providing medically factual information about head wounds - and in particular - those that can lead to death.

I made the observation, reading his body language, tone, discussion of the medical facts - that he was experiencing anxiety, dissonance, and surprise at the outcome.

There are health care issues everywhere, but I can tell you having worked with many Dr's, there has been a mass exodus of Dr's out of Canada to the US. UK has the same problem. I had a friend who was recruiting as many physicians as possible to help the NHS catch up on routine surgeries that patients wait years for before giving up. They were setting up a factory with numerous teams working across 3 shifts to catch up on something like 60,000 hip and knee replacements.
