Canada also heavily relies on US medical labs in Houston. I had to have a blood analysis done as part of a health check for a work contract years ago and my provincial health authority shipped my samples there for testing. It's cheaper for Canada to outsource all this work to Americans wonder what they are paying lab technicians.
- djokkataja 12y agoA little strange to be comparing American GP average income to the average income of all Canadian MDs given that GPs are paid much less than average. "Geoff Ballinger, manager of Health Human Resources for CIHI, said the figures represent averages and vary significantly depending on a doctor’s specialty. For instance, the average family practitioner would earn less than a neurosurgeon or cardiologist." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/mds-gross-income-307000-report-finds/article7640498/ http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/healt...
