Shared Health is looking for outside help to address the severe physician shortage in Manitoba.
The organization that co-ordinates health care in Manitoba is seeking as many as three external firms to recruit an additional 150 family physicians to the province: up to 50 each in Winnipeg; the northern health region and Churchill; and the rest of rural Manitoba.
“Evolving population health needs, systemic issues, changes in how new medical graduates want to practice, and an increasing proportion of the physician workforce approaching retirement have all contributed to a need to increase the number of family physicians practicing in Manitoba,”…

Florida’s new abortion ban isn’t a horror story. It’s a death sentence
“So what are some of the horror stories you’ve seen?”
After more than 20 years as an abortion care physician, this is a question I’m used to being asked.
And I will be hearing that question more than ever now that Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, a move that puts reproductive rights in this state under one of the greatest attacks we have ever experienced.
Suffering is not a ‘story’
When people ask me about some of the “horror stories” I’ve seen, they are usually well-meaning.

Supreme Court dismisses BC doctor’s appeal in challenge over access to private health care
Canada’s highest court will not hear an appeal from a Vancouver-based physician who has been challenging the health-care system over access to private care.
The Supreme Court of Canada’s decision Thursday ends Dr. Brian Day’s 14-year legal battle to allow patients access to private care when the public system isn’t able to offer timely care.
Day, owner of the Cambie Surgery Center in Vancouver, claimed that prolonged wait times for medical procedures violated two Charter rights, including the right to life, liberty and security of the person.
“In a way, it’s a very sad day for Canadians,” Day told CBC…
