    Yeah, the US is having the same problem with medical workers. None of the urgent care doctors in my area stay in the position for more than a couple of months. All the veterinary places are three to six months out for appointments. It seems really weird to have health care shortages. I know at least on the doctor side we probably lost a lot post COVID.

      There’s thousands of kids that get rejected from the education system because they got 97% instead of 98% average or because they got 100 hours of volunteer time instead of 150 hours due to having to work to pay for school.

      We could have a bunch of 97% people filling in these medical positions but the degradation of medical services would be so atrocious we would all wish for the time we needed to wait 8 months to see a specialist for that time sensitive medical condition

      If I ever need urgent care I could always go to a truck stop and ask around to find the immigrant who spent 30 years practicing as a family physician back in Kenya but now drives truck because we won’t recognize their skills other than to bring them into the country
