| We seem to have a fair way to go before genetically modified pig hearts can be used in humans on any large scale. Human hearts grown from the patient’s own stem cells would be a better alternative, circumventing the serious twin problems of rejection and immunosuppressive drugs, but a fiendishly com... |

| 1. Our system for assessing foreign doctors is absurdly inefficient. The various provincial colleges exhibit no sense of urgency whatsoever. The worst one I ever dealt with was Ontario. We should move to assessing individual fitness to practice rather than worrying so much about internships or count... |
