CMAJ 2000;163(5):601

See also:  eLetters
The following random verbatim comments were made by respondents to the 2000 PRQ.
  • "I have given up trying to find locums, and I yearn to escape the office that has become my prison."
  • "Thank goodness for the feminization of medicine, which is waking up a lot of us old workaholics."
  • "After Mar. 17, I will never do call again. I have been on the end of a beeper for a quarter to a third of my life."
  • "All physicians should be required to take call. I am appalled that some physicians close at 4 pm and leave a message directing patients to the ER."
  • "The demands of providing hospital care to orphaned patients are growing and are going to keep growing as we lose physicians and others give up their hospital privileges."
  • "There are no young doctors out there looking to set up shop. Where are they?"
