The emergency department at Chetwynd Hospital has closed again, due to what Northern Health describes as "ongoing physician coverage challenges". Many other rural emergency rooms in B.C. have faced similar closures in recent years. Dr. Gord McInnis, emergency doctor and president of the Section of Emergency Medicine of Doctors of B.C. joined us and took your calls. And, Season 2 of a documentary series showcasing the work of the North Shore Rescue team premieres tonight on the Knowledge Network.
