A tiny island nation has the same number of doctors as the northern half of turtle island

What? That is a bizarre claim.

The US health ministry lists there being a little over 1 million registered doctors in the US, and the Cuban ministry lists 94,000 current doctors.

Canada is a little closer and lists 96,000 current doctors.

turtle island = north america

northern half of turtle island = canada

number of canadian doctors (96k) approximately equal to number of cuban doctors (94k)

My mistake, I for some reason thought Turtle island was both North and South America.
