Sad to see this kind of thing. I'm sure the low wages is tough and patients are probably grumpy too having to pay more out of pocket fees. Sadly the medical system here is becoming more of a revolving door mentality which is sad to see.

Medical care here is still better than the US for the most part. But it is changing here too. You nailed it Betsy. Deteriorating system where doctors are expected to see more patients. Probably stressful environment if their salary is not going up and everything else is.
