Okay I see your post now - obviously I posted without seeing it.
But ... what the hell does that have to do with my post?
I know you're not suggesting that because someone reality show-related died (in Trump tower), I can't post about this:

You wouldn't actually be suggesting such a thing right? Right????
Cos if so,
According to CBC it's 200 doctors, 200 NP's and 30 university students training for NP positions. What they're proposing is exactly how a hospital runs, but in a walk in clinic type setting, and I understand why they're looking at the approach. But it isn't going to be the solution to 700k+ British Columbians who can't get a family doctor. The solution is more doctors, always has been, always will be. Government interference will always prevent that from happening.

You should take all your weird selfies and compile them into a coffee table book. I will help you publish it. It will sell.Where did you get that idea?
Those 200 NP's can do 75% of the work a doctor could do. Not all visits to a doctors office require a doctor. So aside from increasing doctors in the province, I think this is a good start towards providing more residents with regular medical professionals and family doctors.
For more doctors to happen, we either need to start increasing the seats available in medical schools or up the funding going towards recruiting foreign family doctors & streamlining the process of getting credentials recognized.
Let's for the sake of argument say they are doctors, and they're hiring 400 more doctors. Do you think that's enough to fill the need of the 800 000 people without doctors?
I'm just an unfrozen caveman, but I'm pretty sure having a doctor is a prerequisite for a "doctor's office" otherwise, it's just a regular office.
As I said, I don't profess to be an expert on the healthcare of another province, but from what I've read what you're saying here is the opposite of the intended effect. The point is to give people a place to go when they can't get in to see a doctor, but it isn't an "emergency." These doctors and nurses are actually being brought on for what are called "urgent care centers"
The reason we don't have enough family physicians is directly related to lack of capital to invest in having more doctors. There are fewer residency positions than there are graduates last I checked, and of those who do complete their education most don't want to be family doctors because comparatively it's more work for less pay, and that's a big deal when you're loaded with student debt.

Ye, verily
putin is not a commie
No, I dont.
I think the introduction of NP will help though.
A doctor works in the doctor's office, he just doesn't have to see all patients who walk through the door.
If you can employ 5 nurse practitioners for the equivalent cost of 3 doctors, I think mixing them into the team is an efficient and effective move.
I agree. Income is a large factor in med students deciding against family practice as is the downfall of the individual service care model each province uses. With that said, medical school in Canada is still under producing for our needs. More seats and training opportunities need to be offered, along with, increased funding.
and these issues are why you'll never get top level patient care AND universal health care. I don't doubt it's possible to create a system with top level health care where people also don't need to be turned away because they're poor, but clearly the one size fits all approach doesn't work. If our healthcare system were a car, we'd be trading it in on something new.

Not now anyway. He’s purely a creature of opportunity.
So Obama supporters are as dumb as Trump supporters. Glad we agree on something.
Anyone wasting their time with "politicking" is a little bit stupid; a pacified nation surely.
