  1. Ohh well, you see, in Canada ALL information is available to everyone.
    I remember when it first came in. How it was presented. And how we had a “choice”, by having to sign something.
    It is handy to “physicians”, in that they simply copy what another doc said. In fact, they don’t need med school anymore.
