But the question still remains, why do we have a shortage of American trained doctors and why didn't the system plan for this? We all knew this day would come as the population aged.
Why do we have a shortage of American trained doctors ? Probably the same reason there is a shortage of engineers and mechanics. Young people are taking the path of least resistance, they don't want to study hard, they don't want to work with their hands. Doctors are in fact anatomy mechanics and the work requires too many hours and much hard intensive work. Laziness comes to mind, living at home with Mom and Dad till their 35 doesn't help. Mom and Dad refuse to kick their sorry butts out.
