- toyg 3y agoThere are shortages in a number of countries, tbh. Being a general practitioner is a hard job, requiring a long training. To keep good numbers, you have to invest continuously in the system and pay well. Unfortunately, this clashes with the ideological abandonment of the Welfare State post-Reagan/Thatcher/USSR fall.

Cheaper, yeah, but then you have studies gaps and a hard language barrier, both swept under the rug when politicians talk about it. And still, the imports are not enough.
