Have you been given more powers?

 

I see that tooty was empowered to appoint mods for example.

 

actually it is still Ian that is doing that - but Tooty and I were working collectively on the recruitment drive as it were and organizing it with Dr Wong :)

 

We are also working on some other exciting aspects to the forum which should be announced soon

I love historical comparisons.

 

In 1976, Canada had 1.71 physicians per 1000 which led many to believe there was a physician surplus. In 2011 there is now 2.44 physicians per 1000 but it is believed that there is a shortage.

 

Granted this is OECD data and doesn't factor in age-adjusted rates and a few other factors but it's quite an interesting dichotomy.

hehehe still with normalized data it is a bit weird. Of course there are arguments about how much relatively doctors work now.

 

You always have to take this data points with a grain of salt :)
