What kind of doctor is this, radiologist? I'm not aware of any mobile apps in use clinically, but a radiologist's job is to look at images on a computer screen. It doesn't matter where they do it from. Very little of it is automated.

Canada is one of three countries in the world in which the government has a monopoly on healthcare payment. The other two are Cuba and North Korea.

The United States has the least efficient healthcare system in the G20. Canada's is second least efficient. All of the others have two tier systems.

My family member sits on the board of the hospital and described to me the technology advances enabling the doctors to 'do more' in the same time.

The fact is he ears over $1M working from home, inspecting imaging.

Doctors should probably be highly paid but this is too much.

Interesting perspective on single-payer.
