We enjoy the wide varieties of medical specialties in this country b/c money was earmarked in 1965 for medical education in the form of residencies, and doctors enjoy the privilege of serving in those specialties because unlike in 1965, they could afford to do complete residencies instead of the one year internship, as residents could then get a half-decent salary.<br /><br />So they are breaking a covenant that said, "We will all be cared for when we are 65."<br /><br />Why does it seem to me the so-called "Anglican", so-called "covenant" has elements of this in THEIR carryings-on?Kirkepiscatoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651684515435040529noreply@blogger.com
