   (speaking from US): The reality is we need more doctors. A lot more.

   There's no solution other than training a lot, lot, lot, lot more doctors.

   Their salaries need to be lower, training needs to be cheaper and faster, and we need a lot more of them.

      I'm not sure about the salaries. Vocation-motivated people are already doing it. The rest needs a good reason to put their entire life, quite literally, into one single purpose. It's one of those professions that requires a complete dedication of free time, youth, health, mind, etc.

         It does not require more than your standard 8-17. Know tons of doctors that work the same hours as I do and spend their free time the way I do.
