have to worry about a government rebuttal during his opening remarks as he chastised the provincial Liberals At a public forum to discuss the issues surrounding Bill pointed at an empty chair on stage Next to Dr Boyd Is an empty chair its Don Knights chair We asked for him to come or to send any other represen tative from the government Dr said The reason Don Knight didnt at tend the Georgetown doctors public forum was because he had nor commitments said the MPP Burlington He said his staff member was contacted by the doctors Monday about the meeting but the message wasnt relayed to him un til Wednesday morning The meeting took place the same night at the Hills Cultural Centre on Church Street Georgetown Regardless since Bill has been legislated Mr Knight said he didnt know how fruitful It would have been for him to attend Before opening up the discussion to questions from the audience Dr explained why the doctors were opposing legislation which prevents MDs from extra billing The issue was never about money he said The government wants total control of the health care system and that means a deteriorating system he said The Liberals are indirectly attack health rights and Its Seen dif i cult for doctors to explain the If per cent of doctors opt out why are per cent of doctors their offices if its only about money he said Who has served you better family physician or tlie govern ment he asked Hal pari used an example to show how the health care system is deteriorating Two days ago a thermography clinic was closed in Ontario because they werent making money at the OHIP rate he said In Hills the only surgeon thai opts out purchases some equip ment that the hospital wont buy because of lack of funding said In Britain which outlawed opting out in people now must wait months to sec their surgeon the doc tor said Those over cant get kidney dialysis in Britain Dr Halpann said In Quebec doctors have their salaries capped every three months and they wont be paid a full amount for their work if they continue to see more patients he said W want Doctors are better off being at arms length from government so that they can better stand up Tor their Amendments legislation arc hud Doctors wont be waiting for a decision on an amendment before taking more action of their own Another strike is a possibility Whether we arc back for good or not is hard to know Dr Trant said Doctors discuss tactics from day to day and as of Thursday no new strategies of protest were planned Dr said Resigning from hospital committees is a lasting Hon left over from the strike Seven teen of local doctors attending a June meeting at the hospital voted to resign from committees Tlie motion said that in view of the fact that participation in hospital committee work Is voluntary and depends on cooperation between the and medical staff because we feel there s a luek of operation we feel we can I serve on Dr Trantsaid As of Thursday doctors had had a meeting since the decision to resign from committees was made Since returning to their offices the doctors have not been overworked Trant said As of Thursday many people were not aware they were back in their offices Many patients have shown their support of the doctors strike What hey did not agree with was some of the tactics used Trantsaid I not heard any complaints from anyone People suffered only mild in the Georgetown area Trant said The Georgetown emergency room treated many patients from outside of Hills he said Going on strike was a difficult choice for doctors Trant said Weve taken a lot of criticism he said One good thing that has come out of the strike has been the publics awareness of the medical system Correction The Herald incorrectly reported the results a callin telephone poll last week on page A3 The
