Thanks for at least being somewhat objective - when they stick to medicine, the other bloggers are good, but when they get into the social side of medicine, they are appalling. Aren't there any US doctors left who care if people don't get care if they're not insured? I am a practicing radiologist's wife who is of course also a patient, and while I can afford to pay for my care, I find it offensive that there is only a free-market approach to medicine by the doctors who write on the Net. Maybe government health care is not so great as in Canada, but it's better than NO care, which does happen in this country, and I'm glad you're honest that despite their problems, they do get better care in Canada.<br /><br />regards, a doctor's wife Quelle domage! you don’t get many comments, I see … this is the first medical weblog I have read in a long while.
