Ontario's health-care system is under growing strain, from emergency rooms to family medicine. ER doctors describe difficult working conditions, distress, and thoughts of leaving the field, while more than 2.5 million Ontarians lack access to a family physician. Dr. Rodrick Lim and Dr. Farzan Ansari examine what's driving the pressure in emergency medicine. Then, family physicians Dr. Jennifer Wilson and Dr. Carlye Jensen discuss the challenges facing GPs and what it could take to attract more medical students to family medicine.
