           That's not difficult to see.  The Minister of Health doesn't have to   
   treat patients.  A medical education is not necessary to understand   
   how issues affect the public.  Sometimes, (often), a patient's   
   perspective is what is needed.

           If they were truly acting in the interests of the public, I could   
   better accept their salaries, but as it is they are essentially   
   traitors to the Canadian People.
