Abracadabra Receive the last hour alerts of duty

Christian Dubé manager talents were already well known.The pandemic revealed that he was also an excellent communicator.We now discover its political meaning.

During the 2018 electoral campaign, the CAQ had promised that each Quebecer would have his family doctor before the end of his first mandate.Not only did the Legault government never come to achieve this goal, but it has not stopped moving away from it.

The Minister of Health surprised several by revealing that the number of "orphans" was not 800,000, but rather 1.5 million.In politics, we generally tend to minimize problems rather than growing them.

Suddenly, Abracadabra, all this no longer matters, as if we had tried for years to solve a false problem.The important thing is now that everyone can have access to a doctor, it doesn't matter which one, within 36 hours.

M.Dubé gives the impression of having rediscovered the egg of Columbus, allowing his government to avoid a war with the medical profession less than a year from the next election.

Doctors may have lost a lot of the esteem from which they had benefited for decades, it was the government that would have paid the price of chaos in which a confrontation would have plunged the network of health.Doctors are fortunate not to appear on the ballot.

According to m.Dubé, the problem would not be that they do not work enough, as the Prime Minister claimed and Gaétan Barrette, but simply that the meeting system is poorly organized.So there is no need to attack them.At least for the moment.

If the government had decided to individually penalize those who do not take care of enough patients, the medical profession would have mounted in the front front.

By giving the doctors themselves the responsibility of ensuring that enough time beaches are available for meetings at any time in one or more groups of family medicine (GMF), M.Dubé charges them at the same time to do the police.The most workers will have to put the SAVATES at PAS, under penalty of having to put the double bites themselves.

Nothing ensures, however, that the trends observed in recent years will be overturned, however.The youngest, particularly women, who attach more importance than their elders to family-work conciliation, will not want to give up a quality of life that income from a very reduced practice allow them to maintain.

The figures show that it is generally older doctors who see the greatest number of patients.As they retire, who will take care of it?We are no less than the quality of life acquired younger when we get older.We simply take advantage of it differently.

If doctors are required to spend more hours in their clinic, they will necessarily have to spend less in the hospital, as is the case in Ontario even if the work week is significantly the same.Unless they are useless, the tasks they currently pay in the hospital will have to be assumed by others.This brings us back to the crying delay of Quebec in the training of specialized practitioner nurses (IPS) and to the more general problem of the distribution of work in the network.

The old thing of the nice and the villain always works.After the threats of the Prime Minister, the doctors could only rejoice in the change of tone announced by the bill that M.Dubé presented Thursday.However, they are right to be a little skeptical.If the results are not there, the use of the strong way will become even more justified in the eyes of the population.

The Minister has wisely postponed the reform of the method of remuneration, which can only complicate things again.Sooner or later, it will be necessary to review the very favorable conditions which were once granted to doctors to make them accept the creation of the health insurance plan.

In the meantime, the desire to see the health network regain its efficiency and harmony is such that everyone is ready to hang on to the slightest hope.We may know that there is always something behind a magic trick, we still applaud.By the next election, the government does not ask for more.
