WINDSOR DOCTOR Albert Schumacher believes it’s his ethical and moral responsibility to tell patients they can cross the border for faster tests. The president of the Canadian Medical Association said the country’s doctors have no choice when waiting times get unhealthy for their patients.

“Getting it in a timely way is virtually impossible.”
In a speech to the Toronto Board of Trade yesterday, Schumacher said the shortage of health professionals and the inability to access timely care for patients is undermining confidence in the system.
