Are the doctors getting younger ?

[Tania]

I swear I’m been in this hospital for nearly 3 weeks and the doctors just look younger and younger.
Chatting with one of the doctors, she said to me, when I was younger... well I’m thinking what do you mean when you were younger, you’re a baby. So I thought I would ask her how old is she. Docs reply I’m 26 years.....geeezz

Was the doc Younger or older than the coppers who brought you in ?
That's the real test

It is my hubby who is the patient. These are my observations from being with him up to 12 hours a day and a hand full of times I’ve slept there.

The other reason is that most doctors leave to work in private practice upon finishing their internship. Hospitals are where most junior doctors do their internship and residency training as part of their medical studies. So inevitably, most of the doctors in the hospital system are young.

I sometimes think that they should also serve part of their time in the country areas given shortage of doctors there but it wouldn't always be hospitals there.

Doesn't need to be hospitals out here in the region's Historian Many Shires subsidise ,Greatly subsidise a doctor starting a private practise Just it is extremely rare for it to be an Australian doc The large majority who accept such posts are doctors originally from other countries But beggars can't be choosers

The most important thing is a Doctor with the experience to run a stand alone GP practise .

Doctors aside, I'm angry that so many nurses and policewomen and nuns have to moonlight as strippers to support their salaries. Every buck's night I've been to in Australia a nun, nurse or policewoman gets on a stage and starts taking their clothes off! It's a disgrace!
