When Shima needed an ultrasound a little while ago, the ultrasound tech turned out to be a cardiac surgeon from Iran. The person training him to be an ultrasound tech was a Radiologist from Iran. I feel like these stories are so common. I’m curious how many nurses in Toronto used to be doctors elsewhere.

  1. I vaguely recall someone (maybe you) telling me a story of someone going to give birth and the nurse had delivered babies for many more years, somewhere in SE Asia under far more difficult conditions, than the primary physician

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
