What you learn about the impact of the Ukraine war from your Belgian doctor

This morning, I accompanied my wife on a visit to our generalist to get several prescriptions she needed renewed. The doctor is of post-retirement age. He had plenty of time to chat and became very keen to advise me when I said I am considering recommending to our15 year old grandson that he apply his love for chemistry and biology by pursuing a career as a medical doctor. There is no numerus clausus in Belgium. The university studies are free and the degree is a good one.
