title: Reverberations from the Sounding Board ... Waiting Your Turn.
abstract: In the July/August 1993 Sounding Board, Leadership presented four commentaries on Waiting Your Turn: Hospital Waiting Lists in Canada (third edition), prepared by the Fraser Institute's Joanna Miyake and Michael Walker. Waiting Your Turn, released in May 1993, surveyed 2,147 physicians in late 1992 and, based on the results, compares access to common surgical procedures in all 10 provinces. Commenting on the report for Leadership were Charles W. McDougall, executive vice-president and COO of Montreal's Royal Victoria Hospital; Liza Kallstrom, manager of the health policy department at the British Columbia Health Association; Carol Gabanna, executive director of the Hospital Association of Prince Edward Island; and Dr. Hugh E. Scully of The Toronto Hospital. In this issue, Michael Walker responds.
