  21. In my experience they aren't much different in competence than US
  22. physicians.  However, they do not work nearly as hard.  They work
  23. much more regular hours and have little incentive to do anything
  24. extra.  There is certainly something to be said for that, from
  25. the physician's viewpoint.
