Alright to be fair, I should make a finer distinction between psychiatry and psychology. As for the system being overloaded, yes, that's one of the major problems with it - doctors spend more time fighting insurance companies here to get paid than they do treating patients. They need full time staff on hand just to call the 200+ different insurance companies and try to squeeze a dime out of them, so while American doctors spend 80 hours a week, lets say, at work and only treat patients about 30 hours of that time, in Canada, they spend about 60 hours a week at work, and treat patients 55 hours of that time. Salary or no, you need to sell a product to get paid.
Water's still my favorite drink.
