"Physician, detonate thyself!"

Classic headline from an op-ed wondering about whether last week’s events will impact screening foreign physicians:

Terrorist doctors might now just be the in thing for jihadis. Canada, like Britain has a doctor shortage where the solution is to bring in foreign doctors. Andy Knight, a University of Alberta specialist in industrial relations said that our screening of foreign doctors is not sufficient. But the reality is that no amount of screening will reveal who is likely to be a radical and who is not. A “brilliant neurosurgeon” is not likely to have a criminal record. The only solution to this problem, other than to end all Muslim immigration is to watch these doctors after they have arrived. It is doubtful that we have the resources to do that.
