A family physician who is retiring in Truro, N.S., this summer says it was "blind luck" that he found a replacement, as the community braces for significant turnover with its primary-care physicians. CBC News has confirmed at least seven family doctors in Truro will stop practising in 2018; six of those are retirements. "My colleagues are doing all that they can, especially absorbing more patients on their patient load from the retiring physicians as a service." The Nova Scotia Health Authority recruited just seven physicians to its northern zone last year.
