• Every OBGYN in this Canadian City has Resigned

  In October, seven OBGYNs at a Kamloops, B.C. hospital signed a letter of resignation. Those seven were the only OBGYNs in the city.We’re used to bad headlines about Canada’s healthcare system. Lack of family doctors, emergency room wait times, delayed procedures, but this was different. Mass resignation threatening an entire branch of treatment for the whole city. The letter of resignation is effectively a protest, a warning. The physicians who signed it say their workload is untenable and is placing patients at risk. The resignations will be staggered over the coming months and the provincial government is taking a variety of steps to deal with the fallout. Including offering temporary replacement doctors over $7000 a day to take shifts in Kamloops. Kristen Holliday is the regional editor for Castanet News in Kamloops. She joins us today to unpack the mass resignation.Host: Bruce ThorsonCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Featured Guest: Kristen HollidayFact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkMore information:Plan for pediatrics at Kelowna General Hospital sent to ministry as doctor concerns get heard — CastanetDoctor shortage forces another closure of Kamloops' busiest maternity clinic — Castanet7 OB/GYNs resign from Kamloops hospital due to safety concerns — Global NewsInterior Health willing to pay more than $7K per day to fill maternity shifts at Kamloops hospital — CastanetToo Many Canadians Are Leaving Emergency Rooms Untreated — MEISponsors: CAMH Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.
