I’m in Canada. If there were enough doctors that doctor unemployment was 2%+, like a normal job, doctors here would get paid less. Also doctors might not burn themselves out working crazy hours.

Instead, we have a dire shortage of doctors and people in government employed full time trying to recruit the limited supply.

Doctors can’t move to the next hospital for more pay, but they can move to the next province, or to the US.

Doesn't Canada (or maybe individual provinces) also have artificially imposed limits on how many new doctors there can be each year?
