Several neurologists have resigned from the Health Sciences Centre's Neurology Clinic, leaving the hospital to deal with a staffing shortage. An internal memo obtained by CBC News on Monday from Shared Health says "due to several upcoming and unexpected resignations, compounded by previous resignations, some of which remain unfilled, physician staffing in neurology will be significantly impacted." Health Minister Cameron Friesen's office confirmed Monday night a number of neurologists had resigned from the HSC neurology clinic. (CBC)Neither the minister nor Shared Health would say the reason for the resignations. The spokesperson said centralizing neurology services at HSC will ensure 24/7 coverage for both the acute stroke program and general neurology consultation services.
