In response to Video on Brain Surgery posted by pink101:

One thing is for sure, we need more highly qualified doctors; so, our educational system needs some overhauling.
.
Do we really need nore doctors, or is it more a problem of all the "good" doctors wanting to practice where they can earn more money? I seem to recall reading something to that effect a while back.
.
And in an earlier posting here I talked about recruiting people into medicine by offering scholarships and low-interest loans if prospective doctors agreed to practice in areas of the country which desperately need more doctors.
.
I'm not saying the educational system couldn't use some reforms, but I don't think that's the entire problem.
.
peace and love,
Paper Turtle
