  • The COVID-19 pandemic has put an additional strain on all facets of Canada's health care system, but the emerging profession of physician assistants could help ease the burden.
    Doctors, hospital managers and universities all agree the country needs more of them. But 10 years after the first physician assistants graduated from Canadian universities, there are fewer than 800 in the entire country.
    As Ross Lords reports, the calls to grow the positions have gone unanswered.

    I know so many doctors working odd jobs because the Canadian Health care system won't take in graduates who are internationally trained. They are probably better skilled. If you have some emergency or a surgery that is needed, be prepared to wait hours/weeks/months to get treatment. Such is the Canadian healthcare system. The doctors are overpaid, the staff underpaid. They just wouldn't allow more professionals because that would eat up the doctors' salaries. Pathetic.

    Well we got what we deserved. After years of allowing the federal government to Syphon funding from our Healthcare System. Healthcare should be first. We should have been screaming this at the government
    If you want more nurses and doctors then pay for their schooling. Not give it away to some third-world country so they can have birth control. Our money should be spent on things that benefit us. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who would gladly do this work but are not financially able to get the education.

      There are nurses and doctors. They're just placed on hold. The government can only pay for a certain number of doctors and nurses within a certain field. I know surgeons and so forth whom uprooted their family and left Ontario because there is no work.

    This is nothing new. I had Pancreatitis for months ( pre covid) went to emergency 3 times over 37 days . Was treated like a drug seeker. I had to do my own research and go back to tell them. I had pancreatitis. Sure enough a ultrasound showed I was right. Then sent home to pass gall stones which took a few days. Without pain meds. We wonder why so many turn to the streets for pain meds. If I could have I would have but was to sick to move . It’s been a terrible system for years. It’s free for a reason.

    Tens of thousands of physicians and medical specialists have immigrated to Canada in recent years, but they couldn`t be qualified.
    Not because they are not well trained just for a complex qualifying administration in the college of physicians around the country. Short-term bridging programs could easily prepare them to help the health care system.

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
    If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.
    AND WHEN YOU PRAY, DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. BUT WHEN YOU PRAY GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
    This, then, is how you should pray:
    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.
    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
    "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
    Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.
    In the New Heaven and New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
    Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
    Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
    “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
