Quebec Physicians are they overpaid and say their medical corporatism

Our physicians are they overpaid and say their medical corporatism
Pharmacists could play a greater role to relieve the health system, as is done in other provinces. This is what emerges from a study by the Montreal Economic Institute, which analyzes the benefits of opening more acts for pharmacists to access to services.


This idea of the Institute is far from revolutionary . In September 2013, Quebec pharmacists should begin to renew some prescriptions simply and resolve cases of standard health without forcing all patients to go through the doctor's office. For once, we had good news in health true:
Too good to be  at one minute to midnight, the entry into force of the new services has been canceled. The reason was typically Québec: the government can not afford to pay for the service and let patients pay the bill contravenes Supreme socialist principle what Health gratuity. So nobody can pay, the new service was left on ice.
Always the same, nothing changes
Two years later, we are no further ahead. The current Minister of Health even said that it's coming. Meanwhile, parents expect to have a prescription for emergency drops in case of Otis.


But the study from the Economic Institute iced blood by presenting a different picture. There is a Commonwealth Fund comparative survey which asked doctors whether a patient in need can be seen the same day or next day. I never saw this picture. Pathetic for Quebec.
You will not be surprised to learn that in Quebec, see a doctor the same day or next day is only possible in only 22% of cases. We are not surprised because we know the miseries of our system. What Quebecers are less aware, is what is happening elsewhere.
What is happening elsewhere
Do you know that the same question in France is yes to 95%? You read! In 95% of cases, the French doctor is able to see a patient on the day of the request or at the latest the next day; 88% in Switzerland, 87% in the Netherlands, 85% UK, 77% in Germany. You say that in Europe it is different.
Our doctors are they lazy?
What about Canada? It is true that, contrary to the adage that Canada has the "most best" health care system in the world, Canada ranks poorly when we study the results obtained for access to health given the amounts colossal invested in them. But even in internal comparisons in Canada, Quebec performs outrageously wrong. It is 59% in Ontario and the Canadian average is 46%, double of Quebec.
That's the sad part. Hearing this question: "See a doctor the same day or the next day," the Quebecers says that it is impossible and unrealistic. Yet here the impossible seems the norm elsewhere. Are we shocked? We are resigned.
Corporatism of our Quebec
Stay the night to have a family doctor "headlined the LCN channel in its edition of Saturday, January 9, 2010. The journalist Chantal Leblond was commenting on the photo sent by a viewer in the Donald Poirier under the My topo, a section for viewers. According to the journalist, made ​​a hundred people queue outside to have a family doctor by a very cold weather.


Donald Poirier, author of My guidebook said he expected more than 13 months for a family doctor. He wanted to jump at the chance to be among the fifty patients the family physician, arrived in September 2009 in Sept-Îles, wanted to add to his list of patients. This issue demonstrates once again the situation in which Quebecers are immersed for years.
The speed of patient care is poor. A Fraser Institute study published in the month of October 2009 revealed that "the time before receiving any treatment or surgery was 16.6 weeks."
Wait times are too long in hospitals
Worse, the waiting time is very long in hospitals (sometimes more than eight hours to wait between the time to triage and see a doctor) but the waiting time for treatment of certain diseases by specialists are too long. Quebec patients take their troubles patiently they wait on average 8.2 weeks to be treated by a specialist.


The ER overcrowding is not ready to reverse. In 2010, the waiting time was often mentioned in the cut and thrust of the National Assembly of Quebec.
"The Parti Quebecois critic for health, Bernard Drainville, said that seven years later," waiting in emergencies has never been higher ": 5:30 p.m. on average. Some 50 000 people have been waiting more than 48 hours, compared with 40,000 last year.
Dr. Yves Bolduc,Minister, promised "many improvements" when it took office in 2008. "Two years later, the results not only are not there, but this is a clear failure,launched Mr. Drainville. So far, he has absolutely not prove that he was the so-called expert in the management of emergency room he claimed when he became Minister of Health.
"In Quebec, doctors are paid on a fee through the health card. The artificial scarcity,some skeptics say, creates the law of supply and demand. The doctors bargaining power becomes stronger in the context of medical workforce shortage. An equation showing that the scarcity of staff made ​​several causes of leeway on the part of professional associations supposed to defend the interests of the population.
Some Quebecers say rightly that some institutional players of the medical system like the Physicians College of Quebec (CMQ) superficially maintain the medical workforce shortage.
Léo-Paul Lauzon roundly on the College of Physicians of Quebec. "These doctors who create an artificial shortage of doctors in Quebec to exercise abject blackmail the population and" boost "their big salaries indecent and unjustifiable, just as the oil companies.
The government has a more caring attitude towards it corporatist union doctors than to the others, it is true, represent ordinary workers.
In Quebec, some specialists can earn $ 350,000 to a million dollars a year.
Corporate Culture of the Collège des médecins du
Québec modification of the name by the directors of the corporation to CPMQ College of Physicians has not changed the spirit of "corporation". Who said corporation, said closure and exclusion exclusive defense of the interests of members, not patients. The College hat certainly sounds better than corporation but excluded in any way the non-opening of this policy instance.
Corporatism doctors is not a perception but an entrenched reality. The perception of a corporate culture is far from disappearing. The College of Physicians of Quebec leaves the rhetoric of public defense, but that same public requires access to talent.
Is it a union mafia that corporation serving only doctors and the rest of their assertions are pure political and outrageous demagoguery chloroform to pay impoverished populace and towards the dictatorship and the College of rich Physicians.
