I almost didn't want to leave. lol. One of the nurses told me that she drove in to work from north of Newmarket and that she wouldn't work anywhere else.Some comments about Michael Garron in the link below.
A Bachelor of Medicine from the University of Toronto is universally respected, allowing you to work anywhere. It's also in the top five medical schools globally. Which is why so many foreign medical students come here to study.
Yes, but McGill Medical School can boast a Superbowl winning graduate.
And what is your expertise in regard to rating hospitals? I'm guessing it's less than meh.
I need to be an expert to say a hospital is good?
If you're comparing hospitals from around the world? Yup.
I didn't compare or rank them, Newsweek did.
There is a lot to be improved about the delivery of medicine in Canada, particularly Ontario. Efforts for necessary improvements should not be mitigated by feelings of superiority over the many less fortunate countries medical systems across the world.
I think that "meh" usually means "sort of mediocre". #4 in the world is hardly mediocre. It's pretty darn outstanding.
As I inch closer to retirement and a possible move out of Toronto one of the main considerations is access to healthcare, especially potential things like cancer treatment or some other specialized medical need. I have long thought that Eastern Ontario was a complete wasteland for this, but it looks like southwestern Ontario is nearly the same. Pretty much have to find a landing spot that can get you to Toronto or MAYBE Hamilton without too much travel.
I have the same concern when I travel. Quality of medical services in a 3rd world country is probably not great. Quality of care in a 1st world country is probably great but really expensive. One of my co-workers was in the U.S. on a business trip. Got ill and was taken to an American hospital. Since he was on a business trip the company's insurance paid the medical costs.
