title: As hospitals shrink, consolidate or close, physicians are swept up in the turmoil.
abstract: Hospital closures are causing great uncertainty among Canadian physicians. As anatomical pathologist Vivien Frenkel told Nicole Baer, "the main thing now is that nobody knows what's going to happen, and that creates a lot of anxiety." Baer studies the impact hospital closures have had and are likely to have on physicians as the restructuring of Canada's health care system continues.
