You know the feeling, and I think it s a feeling that most Cape Bretoners identify with, is just a feeling of being utterly hopeless, said Andy Parnaby, whose family doctor is giving up her Sydney practice.
In a letter to patients, Dr. Meaghan Keating said she is busy with administrative work at the regional hospital and her time is stretched too thin, so she is closing her practice in July.
