02 X 227 The Blind Perspective 27: What Can We Do to Keep Our Doctors Working
This year, several provincial governments are reporting a budget surplus due to pre-mature retirements of doctors, with many doctors citing burn out, Covid-19 and income constraints as the cause of their retirement. \n\nSo it\u2019s no wonder that wait times are increasing, and medical specialties are in demand. \n\nIn response, , many experts are recommending a reduction of doctor\u2019s dues and licenses and other overhead that may be contributing to these income constraints. Experts feel this may inspire longer working life spans in doctors.\n\nThe natural question is if this is enough, and should doctors be able to get lower practicing fees, just to continue practicing, especially when one considers that doctors are one of the higher paying professions. \n\nJoin our panel, on Saturday, 4:00 pm (EST), 1:00 pm (PST), 9:00 pm (GMT), as they discuss topical news items of importance from a blind perspective.\n\nThe Blind Perspective is an interactive show, allowing for the participation of the audience.
