A bloated police state that enforces the caste system at the expense of everything else. Even our doctors are leaving medical careers behind.
Be careful if you live in a police heavy state. It always leads to the decline of society, in your streets, in your schools, in your system.
Dr. Ramsey Hijazi, founder of the Ontario Union of Family Physicians, a group of more than 1,700 doctors, said the organization had planned a mass movement of doctors to take a "coordinated day off" on Monday but decided to hold a virtual meeting instead to avoid any impact on patient care. About 150 family doctors took part in the career summit.
Hijazi, a family physician in Ottawa, said the point of the meeting was to draw attention to the crisis that family doctors are facing. He said family medicine in Ontario is unsustainable because of inadequate funding from the Ontario health ministry and the amount of time that family doctors have to spend on administrative work, which is estimated to be roughly 19 hours a week.
"It really speaks to how dire the situation is and frankly how desperate family physicians are," he said.
Hijazi said after the meeting that the doctors talked about the possibility of transitioning out of family medicine into other fields, such as hospital or cosmetic medicine.
"It gave a lot of physicians a sense that there are options out there and you don't have to feel you have no control over your situation in the future," he said.
