Original Toronto Star caption: Doctors storm Queen's Park: About 700 placard-waving doctors marched to Queen's Park yesterday and demanded entrance to the Legislature to listen to debate on the proposed bill to end extra-billing. Two doctors in the foreground are smashing wooden sticks on the barricade. The doctors became so unruly that the front doors to the legislature building were locked.

      Big Jim Leeson parks his Cessna Skyplane, zips up his jacket and goes to pay a house call. By flying, Wiarton's Dr. Leeson figures he's beaten one of the biggest problems facing the progessive rural doctor today: Isolation from his colleagues and the big city medical centres. With his Cessna he can hop down to Toronto in an hour for a lecture. Still, he admits, a rural practice might not be every doctor's cup of tea, I'm a farm boy myself...I'm used to it, he says.

      After: Dawn Hosier and Dr. Earl Farber after surgery. The pair is sitting in the doctor's Inn on the Park office. It's amazing - the change makes you feel good about yourself, Hosier says
