Unable to believe that physicians working in a toxic environment will leave? Well, the evidence is there.

Brass tacks:
Physicians are leaving Alberta already
CPSA is our licensing body, which Shandro can dismantle under the Health Providers' Act (and will therefore rarely risk contradicting the government)
Physicians may struggle getting licensed elsewhere without a letter of good standing from the CPSA, meaning leaving SOONER is advantageous
Other provinces are aware of this, and may overlook the lack of a recommendation to encourage physician migration
Protections for patients whose provider leaves are already established by the CPSA
Withdrawing services outside a contract (which he dismantled) is not job action, and forcing someone to work is a human rights abuse
Expect fewer services and longer wait times as a result, and recruiting into this situation will be next to impossible.
How do I help?
