Earlier this year, as President Donald Trump was beginning to reshape the American government, Michael, an emergency room doctor who was born, raised, and trained in the United States, packed up his family and left the country.
Michael now works in a small-town hospital in Canada….He said he feels some guilt that he did not stay to resist the Trump agenda but is assured in his decision to leave. Too much of America has simply grown too comfortable with violence and cruelty, he said.
"Part of being a physician is being kind to people who are in their weakest place," Michael said. "And I feel like our country is devolving to really step on people who are weak and vulnerable."
Michael is among a new wave of doctors who are leaving the United States to escape the Trump administration. In the months since Trump was reelected and returned to the White House…
The Medical Council of Canada said in an email statement that the number of American doctors creating accounts on physiciansapply.ca, which is "typically the first step" to being licensed in Canada, has increased more than 750% over the past seven months compared with the same time period last year — from 71 applicants to 615. Separately, medical licensing organizations in Canada's most populous provinces reported a rise in Americans either applying for or receiving Canadian licenses, with at least some doctors disclosing they were moving specifically because of Trump.
"The doctors that we are talking to are embarrassed to say they're Americans," said John Philpott, CEO of CanAm Physician Recruiting, which recruits doctors into Canada. "They state that right out of the gate: 'I have to leave this country. It is not what it used to be.'"

No kidding! Government Managed Healthcare. Odd too many Canadians go to US medical facilities for faster treatment & better specialist.
LOL!
Don’t let the door hit ya! Worthless
If they are all mentally ill like Michael then the U.S. is better off.
MAHA!
Probably all from India.
“I doubt it.
Not any repeat customers.”
And no word of mouth recommendations from satisfied patients.
“You could grab their hand trying to pick your pocket, and they would deny it.”
That’s how Andy met the Kingfish.
“Well, about eighteen years ago at a carnival, I reached into my pocket to get my wallet and shook hands with Mr. Stevens.”
Right you are, sir. They're called demonicRAT controlled cities.

Some doctor named Mike moved to Canada to get away from Trump. A fiction concocted to advance a narrative. They used to call it a likely story.
maybe now canadians can get treatment before they die
If I were a US doctor who insisted on jabbing my patients and now they are flooding my office with complaints and Trump and Kennedy are now in charge...well.
Boy are they going to be disappointed when Canada becomes the 51st state. ;^)
Sez NPR.
><
Exactly. This is a good example of why NPR should not be funded by the American taxpayers. Everything they say oozes of Leftist/Communist propaganda.
May they be as happy as Rosie ODonnell was in Ireland and Ellen DeGenerate is/was in the UK
Joe B and Dem agenda are the reason for much of the violence. Primarily they are the ones burning trashing killing etc. Obama wanted and got transformation but now it’s blame Trump and run away.
Sounds like they are the doctors who practice politics instead of medicine and if they leave, the herd will be improved.
They’re going to love socialist medicine. Weird most other doctors from all over the world are coming to America. Somebody is peeing on our legs and tell us it’s raining.
