I would agree with that but there has to be a certain acceptance criteria that a percentage of those new applicants will move to reomote, or rural areas that are sorely lacking in family doctors. Most new docs want to stay in heavily populated urban areas.

There's a doctor shortage crisis in non-urban areas of Canada.

FANTASTIC idea. I don't know why this wasn't suggested before. I try to avoid the doctor if possible.... but when I had to go for about 10 months or so, I had to make "refill" appointments far too often...

Wasted my time: I had to take time off work, reduces PRODUCTIVITY

Wasted my money: Why should my tax dollars be wasted on meaningless visits like this when I should be able to get a refill from the pharmacy?
