NZ is good at training medical professionals but not good at retaining them. So we rely on overseas trained doctors especially to fill the need.
My home town is attracting some top line professionals for our health services.
It's a nice place to live.

When the small South Island town of Timaru and its cluster of US doctors hit the front page of the Wall Street Journal last week, it highlighted New Zealand's dependence on overseas doctors, particularly in rural and regional parts of the country.

I have not had a #HeartAttack or #Stroke yet but I take 81 mg #BabyAspirin daily because my family has a history of heart disease.

Apparently, family history is not a good enough reason to take it but, like #TheOrangeRapist, I make personal medical decisions based on what I think it's in my best interest; #MedicalProfessionals be damned! 😉
