I've thought of going into psychiatry or pathology one day...just as reference I guess. I'm gay, but I can't get married in the United States. However, it is legal in Canada. I'm also a third year medical student. Also, the policies as related to healthcare just seem more fair up north...its a wretching experience to watch people be denied healthcare that would likely save their lives because they have no insurance. If possible, put this average salary in both Canadian monetary units and the equivalent in US dollars.
