Milton short on doctors tram D0CTOR's on page 2 other Halton doctors with a sîmilar polîcy. But he does know that the pressure bas been building in Halsons overworked doctors. "Basically, thîs is a reflection of the frustration, stress and probably anger a lot of physicians are facing over the system," said Dr. Nosal. He aasured residents that patient health won't be compromised by a one-com- plaint policy. "To take a proper history and physical exam, there are questions that need to be asked," said Dr. Nosal. "I'm confident those questions would be asked." Though an eight-minute time siot for patient visita sounded right, it's for uncomplicated cases only, he added. "Those are for minor, intermediate ses- sions," he said. "There are others that would take more lime." Booking a new appointment for each ailment will help ensure enough time is set aside for each complaint without impact- ing other patients, said Dr. Maley. But it's nota gambit to pad doctors' wallets. In its current form. the billing structure compensates for more complicated cases. In other words, the tougher a patient's problem, the higher the fee. And then there's the time factor. "Vie have more patients than we know how to deal with," said Dr. Maley. And the situation isn't likely to improve without an infûsion of more doctors in the system. Currently, 21,000 doctors practice in Ontarto. But that number is expected to dropto 18,000 by 2010. said Dr. Maley. That bas will be exacerbated by a simultaneous increaae in the general popu- lation. And a slashing of medical school enroîl- ments in the early 1990s means there won't be enough new graduates to cover the lots. 'There is a heslth care crisis," said Dr. Maley. "Vie dont have enough doctors."
