This Week’s Short Notes
1. It’s official: Le Tour de France 2007 will be announced as “The Medical Mystery Tour”.
2. The Danes are very, very angry with the Swedes. The reason? Sweden has minimized admissions to medical schools and as a consequence hopeful young Swedes now cram Danish medical schools. Or in other words: Denmark pays for the education of Swedish doctors. (As does Sweden’s rich neighbour Poland).
The Swedish government does not recognise this as a problem.
Update: Swedish Radio has covered the subject.
3. Contrary to her earlier statements, Marianne Jelved does not endorse Margrethe Vestager as her successor. Not at the moment, at least.
Similarly, Naser Khader does not want to be Marianne Jelved’s successor. At the moment.
