A doctor known across Canada as a pioneer in creating private surgery clinics and a guest columnist here at ProudToBeCanadian.ca, Doctor Brian Day has been nominated to be the next president of the Canadian Medical Association.
Why was he ever allowed to be a guest columnist here? For saying things like this yesterday to the press:
“The private sector should be allowed to compete with the public sector for medical services, doing surgeries,” he said.
“Looking at European models, looking at Australia are worthwhile things to do. We have a unique opportunity to actually build the best system in the world, because we can learn from the mistakes that have been made and copy the good things.”
If all goes well, he will be confirmed in August, but won’t actually start serving until August 2007.
Dr. Brian Day’s clinics perform orthopedic, eye and other surgery. Visit their Cambie Surgery Centre web site and get a glipse of what I hope is the future of Canadian medical care. Dr. Day also has a personal/professional site.
His column here is called “It’s a realistic medical goal: Let’s eliminate waiting lists, not study them”.
