That's very true.
Unfortunately, at least where I've worked, there always seems to be a shortage of medical professionals.
Where I am at the moment, there's a definite shortage as many young doctors and nurses jump the pond and go to Australia.
But I can tell you from experience that as soon as there's even a whisper of a new 'flu strain people stream in for the slightest throat tickle or cough. You try to give as much time to patients - I've yet to encounter a Dr. House like attitude to them - but when you look out of the door and see 50 people waiting for you, all with the same - usually - minor symptons that are easily treatable with a day or two in bed or something similar - it really does get you down.
