I think it's new models of care that are important. I think we have to start to look for those ways in which we can balance the specialist being in the big city where we have all the tools to do our work but supporting the rural communities so that care can be delivered there.
The challenge is that we can only do so much and there's a lot of that work that is just part of being the physician but not necessarily remunerated, not necessarily as our physician remuneration but also to the hospital system remuneration. There are a lot of changes that need to be in place in order to do that outreach and maintain that outreach.
I'll give you a quick example of one of my particular areas, which is brain radio surgery, or focused radiation. We went out there on our own and taught all our communities—whether it was Kitchener, Kingston or going up north to Sudbury—and I did lectures with them and I tried to bring technology to them so that they could do the treatments there. When they need the help, we're here when it matters most. They can call in. They can reach me 24-7 and we'll do it, but not all places have physician champions. To foster that model so that rural Canadians have just the same level of access as they could right here takes a lot of work and effort and a new model of care.
