TORONTO (CP) - Think it's hard to find a doctor now? The shortage of physicians in this country is on the verge of getting much worse, a new survey suggests.
A combination of factors - impending retirements of doctors, the planned scaling back of hours for lifestyle reasons and the influx of women into the medical profession - is expected to exacerbate the shortage in the next couple of years, according to an analysis of the survey released Wednesday.
Yeah, if only.
