And they will love it even more when they find they have to send their patients to the USA for routine MRI diagnostic scans.

Bovine Scatology.

What a yawn.

Who cares if a few people leave the country... millions more want in.

[cherry]

Now there’s the normal we have grown to love and trust.

I’m guessing these docs were hauling in some coin in the gender affirming insanity, which is, thankfully, coming to an end in America. Canada is still stuck on stupid and they’ll be able to dabble in it for awhile up here.

Maybe if enough of them move to Canada the emergency treatment wait time therewill drop by a week or so to eight months

[blackdog]

All that time in school to be a doctor and they never took any modern history classes, obviously.

The doctors that we are talking to are embarrassed to say they're Americans," said

Not as embarrassed as the rest of us are that they’re Americans.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

How do those doctors feel about how the veterans’ services were delayed, contributing to a rise in suicides?

Good riddance. Enjoy socialized medicine, you cowards.

Are these “doctors” from among the group that willfully mutilates children in the name of “LGBQTP Pride?”

First, the story if from biased NPR. Of course it is anti-Trump. Federal funding to NPR and all its affiliates money laundering payments back to parent NPR should be stopped.

Second, I live in the Soviet of Washington not far from the US/Canadian border. I worked in both US border towns and in British Columbia. The number of Canadians who seek medical treatment in the USA because the wait is too long in Canada to get the “free-but restricted” healthcare is huge. When I worked in British Columbia, I knew a guy who arranged medical tourism for Canadians to get health care in the Philippines and in Thailand.

The doctor interviewed does not understand the strict government rationing of medical services practiced in Canada. Eventually, he will learn.

Speaking of which in some circles Canada is not allowing euthanasia of children as young as 12 based on their request even if their parents object. Canada is not a civilized country where a “caring” doctor would want to practice.

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.

And how many are applying to move in the opposite direction? How many Canadian physicians are asking to come to America?

My guess is that there is a net influx.

What a SUPER Pussy, “HE” didn’t even attempt to RESIST!...he fled the country like the twat that he is..

I'm wit youse! He should have at least keyed a few Teslas and maybe dumped a few cinder blocks from the freeway overpass before leaving us!

"And I feel like our country is devolving to really step on people who are weak and vulnerable."

Well, at least he is opposed to abortion!

Right?

Ri-ight?

Would you care to rephrase that?

I live near the Canadian border. Our local hospital is infested with mostly democrats. I have not heard of any leaving.

If they would tune their AM radios to 800, CJAD, they would get an ear full of Canadians complaining about their "free" health care system.

In the 1960s and 1970s CJAD used to be a neutral station politically, now it is hard leftist extremist, the only English language talk radio station in Montreal.

[ponygirl]

I’m guessing he specializes in pediatric Chopadickoffame surgeries?

[FLT-bird]

Good riddance.

I am more than happy for all Leftists to leave the country. In fact, I encourage it. Don’t come back.

Move to Gaza or Iran.
