Canadian imports

Threw some money at one today, went with my son to the orthopedic doc, a Canadian import from southern Ontario, eh? Like all the people I have met from Canada, nice guy! Guess my son tried to dislocate his knee cap.

LOL Bill, typical 19 year old, made of steel, wasn`t wearing the leg immoblizer they gave him on his emergency room visit, after the doc checked him out, fitted with another and told it doesn`t come off for 2 weeks, until the next visit.

 

Doc was busy, didn`t get much time to talk, but the accent was obvious even though slight. Brain drain? Ya one of my thoughts too, we are soon to become a nation of geezers with the baby boomers starting to age, health care field will be strong here for 20-30 years at least. First doc I have met that was obviously from Canada.

doctors can make way more money down there then up here. especially the surgeons.

 

cheers!

Ya lunker, a sad fact of living next door to a bigger country without nationalized health care, easy to make a border crossing and increase their pay. Although he was busy, he had people skills, a very good explanation of the problem and corrective measures. Some doctors here come up short on that test.
