I read an article a couple of months ago from McClealen magazine. The
article stated that Canada is in disarray due to the fact they have many
female doctors who now want to leave the industry to start families.
Unlike the US when a family doctor retires and you just find another
one, the problem in Canada is much different.
According to the article, you simply can't find a family doctor in
Canada; and the problem will get worse than better.
