The Wonderful Healthcare of Canada!

[Cellblock2429]

Ah, so getting a question about an order for 2x4’s is the equivalent to rushing to an ER to treat a patient on chemo having seizures.

I would say the stress or physical damage of answering a question would be about the same as travel time to a hospital. Of course, unloading those 2x4s and nailing them in place would be quite a bit more physically demanding than looking at charts and ordering nurses to administer the right medicines. Again, I'm not minimizing the stresses a doctor experiences. They are real, and they are large. I'm just saying they don't take the same physical toll as manual labor.

Yeah, everyone knows every city ordinance allows you to hammer 2x4’s at 2am... NOT

If you've never been on a construction job that ran 24/7 you haven't been on many big jobs.

Just managed medical device and aerospace manufacturing 7/24 operations with customers from Europe calling me whenever they wanted.

Nothing as critical or high tech as construction. Wish I had easy like a doctor treating cancer.

Never said a doctor had it easy. I repeatedly said in this thread that doctors have lots of stress. I'm just saying it's not so much physical stress.

1. New guideline---- previous guideline was for 16 hours, and certainly not 72 as claimed by previous poster.
2. Allow 24 hr shifts, not require 24 hour shifts. Some will do that. Most probably won't.

Hard to believe a doctor could be physically worn down by his job in the same way a construction worker might. The difference is that a construction worker would just say "Oh Well" and go to work anyway, because he hasn't saved up a few million like the doctor has.

Hard to believe that some people think the medical industry is a government agency with employees at their beck-and-call free of charge.

Who do you know that thinks that?

I personally know no one who thinks that, but then I am quite prejudiced in my choice of acquaintances.

Yet, you claim there are people that do. What an active imagination you have.

Be specific. Where did you get the idea that people think the medical industry is a government agency with employees at their beck-and-call free of charge.

Dufus thinks construction workers get 2am 7 days a week calls to go anywhere in the Provence in the Canadian winter.

Americans are always blathering on about someone else's healthcare system. Guess ya kinda have to when ours is what it is.

Ours is great. Most communication with my GP is email. I wait a maximum 10 minutes for actual appointments, maybe 15 for a walk-in. Emergencies are on call, otherwise I may have to wait a day or two for a specialist.

Yeah uh huh sure. We really believe you.

I couldn’t care less what your healthcare is like in Canada. Your entire country is a frozen lump of moose turd. What I do know is that I will never accept Government healthcare here in the USA and any politician who supports it is my enemy.

Then stay off Medicare.

From the attitudes expressed by Democrats concerning the health care system in their own news media.

So you're making shit up, AGAIN.

Then stay off Medicare.

Already ahead of you. Medicare got a certified letter from me declining my future benefits about ten years ago. We also got my wife off SSDI and Medicare/Medicaid when we got married in 2014.

Not at all. You're choosing ignorance again.

Kinda how americans are very often, we believe our indoctrination over folk on the ground where the deal happens who have not been subjected to the grand american illusion of who we really are and how we've set up a predatory society.

Don't believe, your choice. But whatever you do, stop seeking knowledge for yourself, you have a comfortable link.

It is referred to as "the american dream" because it is still yet to be realized for all of us.
