Physicians aren't the only health care workers affected by cuts in health care spending. In Alberta, the number of registered nurses has dropped 13% since 1993. Although the vast changes in Canada's hospital sector create opportunities for some workers, such as nursing assistants, others such as laboratory workers face a gloomy future. Nicole Baer reports that many Canadian health care workers are voting with their feet and leaving the country, while others are moving to new careers.
医生并不是唯一受到医疗保健支出削减影响的医护人员。在艾伯塔省，自1993年以来，注册护士的数量下降了13%。尽管加拿大医院部门的巨大变化为一些工人创造了机会，比如护理助理，但其他人员，如实验室工作人员，却面临着黯淡的未来。妮可·贝尔报道说，许多加拿大医护人员正在用脚投票，离开这个国家，而其他人则转向新的职业。
