Finally an article describing the truth. I have a brother who is surgeon. Trained for 14 yeas, in debt till late 30's, works hours that most of you would never fathom, puts people back together again (dealing with your love one's lives), has to pay his own overhead, malpractice insurance of over $50k, has no pension (female doctors get no paid maternity leave) and when he doesn't work (i.e. vacation), there is no income (rich, senior business guys like Moreau get all that paid for plus millions in stock options). Why doesn't Moreau Tax stock options - at a certain threshold - as income. No, it will hurt his buddies on Bay Street.

So, the guy below writes, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out". He will be the first to whine when the doctor moves to he USA or works less and he has to wait 24 hour in Emerg or some 'Doctor' from a small developing country (not as well trained as Canadian doctors), performs sub-par surgery on you or your child and perhaps they die.
