        doctors lashing out Cover:
Doctors are lashing out against the funding crisis in an unprecedented wave of job action and other militant behaviour. Physicians in the 4 most active provinces are fed up with chronic underfunding at the expense of quality care and fair compensation (page 1505).

Couverture :
La profession médicale réagit à la crise du financement par une vague sans précédent de moyens de pression. Les médecins des quatre provinces les plus actives en ont assez du sous-financement chronique aux dépens de la qualité des soins et d'une rémunération équitable (page 1505).
