What a Great Country!  

Wo Ping Chen was trained as a physician in Hong Kong. Until Hong Kong  was returned by the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China, he  was the best known Orthopedist in the Crown Colony. Fearing problems  with the new government he emigrated to Vancouver, British Columbia,  Canada as a citizen of the commonwealth.  

He worked as an employee of the National Health Service for a year and  then obtained a work visa to the U.S. and crossed the border into the  U.S. only to find he could not work as a physician without a license  from a U.S. state and attended a U.S. based medical school. After one  year of medical school, one year of internship in a Seattle hospital and  one year as a resident Chen was able to restart his life.  His first effort upon receiving a license was to apply to the U.S.  Government\\u2019s Medicare and Medicaid systems for a medical provider number  which would give the government the ability to deposit funds  electronically into his bank account without having to wait for a check  to be received and collected
