A Sudbury physician is attacking LHSC for having put her mother (who suffers from dementia) in a hospital room with a male instead of female roommate. Having been in the hospital a number of times myself, I can tell you that I would prefer to be in a room with people of my own gender. [...]

I have worked in a hospital for almost two decades, I have a college education, and I’d like to offer a few suggestions as to where they could save money and put more into patient care.

Elsewhere in this publication you will find a column by James Prowse in which he quite politely asks provincial Health Minister, Deb Matthews, to prevent the threatened closing of the London Fitness Institute, a cardiac research and rehab facility within LHSC that is run by Dr. Larry Patrick.

I eat in restaurants more than almost anybody I know. Because of my crazy schedule, the opportunity to sit down to a home-cooked meal is an infrequent luxury, and I find myself eating at ‘commercial’ tables at least a dozen times or more a week.
