The same friend may drop byin theafternoon to watch Joe paint. The Spanish gypsy who sings at the bistro below will bring up some new waif of an acquaintance. Later, perhaps all of them will go down to Le Petit Gavroche (The Little Street Urchin) to talk and drinkaway most of the night. The clashes of person- ality that take place over the table will feed Joe’s brush. Balkind: “So manypeople don’t realize that Joe too is an ironist, Joe too has a sense of the ridiculous. Joe too hassaid, in talking aboutthe ‘human comedy’that heloves having a gladiatorial contest. It is aworld in which no banality is allowed to die a slow death. There are some very sharp minds in this world, they’ll slash and cut away. Joe watches all this; he rarely participates. . . He is a gentle man, almost saint-like. But I’d like to qualify that and say there’s a certain kind of saint (the kind I’d be more inclined to admire) whois also a devil. Who watches the wickedness of the, world and enjoys it to some extent, but is yet removed from it.’’ It is an utterly vulnerable world, this haven of Plaskett’s. For all its wit and ritual, it is an unreal world, defying time with “comedy”. That is why Balkind calls it “tea-time in the eye ofthe hurricane, or a Fellini barge in a shark-filled sea.

Keith Bradbury Reveals The Scandalous Story Of How Wealthy British Columbia Would Rather Steal Doctors From Poorer Areas Than Train Its Own

N 1950, WHEN THE UBC MEDICAL I school enrolled its first class, there was room for exactly 60 first year students. Last September, when thelatest class was enrolled,there were still exactly 60 first year places. The interveningtwo decades had seenthe population of British Co- lumbia nearly double and the number of university studentsincrease by nearly 400 per cent but there had not been even a one seat increase in the intake of the medical school. UBC in the early 1970s is still turning out the same number of doctors it was turn- ing out in the early 1950s.

Dr. McGeer would establish asecond medical school in the province. Another member of the faculty suggested that the school and the provincial licens- ing body take on the function of de- ciding the number of GPs required. But these aredetails; the aims are the same. Yet, if one may be permitted to expressa personal opinion, I can’t helpbut think that in all this one thing has been overlooked-that the solution requires at least one more element. It is quite simply, acom- mitment to let the general public in immediately on what is happening, something the medical profession so often has been loathe to do.
