I have a 1965 book titled The Coming Doctor Shortage. I suspect that the doctors' guild has kept the supply of newly graduated doctors just under the number needed to keep their wages artificially higher than if there was a surplus. They import exactly the number of doctors needed to fill all positions.
I had a passenger who went to visit her husband's grave twice a week. She blamed the foreign VA (veteran's administration) physician for causing his premature expiration.
Edit: People tend to die when it's their time, so I don't think that the foreign doctor was necessarily to blame. I'm just saying that I think the medical system takes advantage of the perpetual shortage of doctors...
