Alberta, This Is Going To Hurt - Episode 9

In this episode, our host Sam Myhr is joined by doctors Ed Aasman and Vicci Fourie to update Alberta on the state of rural healthcare. It's been over a year since they led a successful grassroots campaign that resulted in the reversal of several cuts to rural healthcare, but despite their efforts their communities are actually worse off than they were back then. Tune in to find out why, what rural health care is experiencing and what needs to change to mitigate the crisis that is unfolding.

***A note from Dr. Myhr: At one point we talk about the lifestyle of urban vs rural doctors, and I want to make it clear that we know urban physicians are suffering too. Our guest wanted to highlight that there is an expectation for us to "do it all" in our communities, whereas urban physicians can usually "opt in" to different areas of practice. That said, I have heard from many urban family docs that they also cannot find locums, and are responsible for covering after hours results on their patients 24/7, including handling calls overnight or while "away". Thank you all for the care you continue to provide to your patients.
