Dr. Harry Portnuff of York- ton, president of the Saskatche- wan College of Physicians and Surgeons, says doctors are still bitter, suspicious and worried about their professional future, Premier W. S. Lloyd says the doctors' fears are groundless and maintains the plan is work- ing despite strained rations between his CCF government and the profession. He antici. pates no major changes, The plan went into effect July 1, 1962. Most of the prov- ince's 900-odd doctors withdrew their mormal services and for 23 days only emergency treat- ment in hospital was generally available | On July 23 an agreement was reached enabling the doctors to avoid direct dealings with the government's agency by accept- ing payments through existing medical insurance firms, The agreement put the doc.) tors back their offices,|fOW calmed residents and smoothed |' some of the ruffled feathers on both sides. Dr. Portnuff insists it has not, 'however, removed the profession's fear that its freedom of action remains in jeopardy 'FULL OF MISTRUST' "You can't legislate good. will," he says.
