Hhhmmm, let’s see.
When I was a child , about six I was treated for mumps.
measles, chicken pox, whooping cough and scarlet fever
by Dr Davidson and Dr King. In those days they would come
to our rented shack. White Anglo Saxon ‘s for sure.
Here I am.
About 14 years ago I had major surgery, performed by an
Egyptian who just happen to bring his skills to Canada.
Here I am.
About ten years ago I had emergency surgery at 3 in the
morning ,, for an infected tonsil,, I was near deaths door.
That was performed by a Syrian.
And here I am.
Recently my wife was treated in emergency by two excellent
emergency Doc’s one Italian one Chinese
There she is.
While we were there ,,there were 2 indigenous people
being treated within earshot, and they were treated by
Doctors and nurses with caring and respect.
I am not sure on the heritage of our family Doc
as it does not matter as he has been a lifesaver for us over
the years.
Doctors in Canada do not want to move south of the border
and have to contend with lawsuits, insurance companies
and the extremely high cost of malpractice insurance.
I haven’t experienced any Pakistani or Cuban doctors yet
but I am sure they are just as qualified as the doctors in the
anecdotes above. |
