Nurse Practitioners
Now that the province is funding these people for 80% of what Family Doctors are paid, we can all look forward to way better family medicine, or maybe not.
I do hope that the province will step up and insure these people against the unlimited liability law suits that will soon follow.
Maybe some of our lawyers and judges will describe what sort of settlements a patient can expect if a diagnosis is missed and the patient suffers irreversible, preventable harm.
Too bad we only have 2 medical schools, who are turning away qualified students because of funding cuts.
