Saskatchewan doctor shortages Humanism vs. Structuralism

Government more recently has thrown money at the problem. Believing that money can solve any problem. The ministry of health consulted with physicians and health care stakeholders to create initiates to help attract more physicians to Saskatchewan (â€Å"Physician Recruitment,†2010). The government signed new contracts with emergency rooms doctors in hope that higher salaries will help recruit more physicians (â€Å"Saskatchewan ER,† 2013). The expected salaries range from about 300,000 to 400,0000 yearly (â€Å"Saskatchewan ER,† 2013). The government has also committed a total of 3.5 million dollars to a new strategy (â€Å"Physician Recruitment†, 2010).

Even if the doctor comes to Canada and has all the money in the world he might not have his family with him and he might miss them. Which then he isn’t fulfilling a level of the hierarchy and one cannot move higher up without fulfilling lower levels (Oleson, 2004). So governments should look at other aspects that can affect the decisions of physicians to stay and work in Saskatchewan (Oleson, 2004). Some rural communities lack the cultural aspects that some doctors might need if they come from other countries (â€Å"Physician Recruitment,â₠¬  2010). Some might have families, which have needs of their own (â€Å"Physician
