1/ How physician recruitment is going to go down in the next few months in Alberta:
RECRUITER: So, you& #39;ll need 10+ years of post-secondary education...
DR: got that
RECRUITER: and you& #39;ll be responsible for making life-or-death decisions
DR: sure

2/ RECRUITER: I hope you& #39;re ok with working 60 hours a week including nights, weekends and holidays
DR: no problem
RECRUITER: plus on call duties, 80 days a year
DR: ok
RECRUITER: you won& #39;t be able to choose where you live and work. We& #39;ll send you somewhere remote.
DR: But...

3/ RECRUITER: you won& #39;t get any benefits like sick leave or paid vacation
DR: wait-
RECRUITER: you won& #39;t have a contract and we can change how much you& #39;re paid at any time
DR: seriously?
RECRUITER: you won& #39;t be able to communicate with your boss except through Twitter...
DR: ???

4/ RECRUITER: ...and if he doesn& #39;t like what you tweet, he& #39;ll block you
DR: uh
RECRUITER: but if you& #39;re lucky, he might come to your house and yell at you. Or phone you late at night on an unlisted number
DR: what

5/ RECRUITER: you& #39;re responsible for all expenses, and your income will be made public
DR: this doesn& #39;t sound right
RECRUITER: and you& #39;re not allowed to quit. Ever. Now, can I get your signature on the dotted line?
DR: (footsteps running away)
