  1. Zero sympathy for those medical professionals who have remained silent over egregious medical mandates.

  2. Wow, that’s a large number. My only hope is that they don’t start on pills! Exercise and a healthy diet is the best type of medicine to fight depression.

  3. Everything is going to be fine 🙂 Don’t panic anyone !
    We are just drifting into madness ..
    Enjoy the ride 😀

  4. “Canadian doctors are struggling with burnout and depression”

    Huh. Really?

    Well, here’s the advice they gave me when I went to them with that concern.

    1. 600 000 temp visa’s are issued every year in Canada and there are at least 30 000 3 year resident work visas active at any given time.

      yes, 600 000.
      But let’s keep charging tuition, it’s working so well for them back in their home nation.

  5. Just two weeks to slow the curve they said…..
    No mercy for the wicked haha

    I feel for those in the healthcare system who have been fired and run off for knowing better!

  6. A bunch of young doctors have died in the last 6 months. I wonder what’s doing it? Really long covid?
