Original Toronto Star caption: Determined doctors: The largest ever meeting of doctors in Ontario has voted to continue their struggle to get a 26.7 per cent increase in pay this year. Out of an estimated 3,000 doctors in Metro, 1,400 were at the Prince Hotel meeting. The doctors say they won't strike, but will adopt some other moves, including refusing to give advice or renew prescriptions over the phone.

      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.

      Eye operation: Eye surgeon Dr. Lionel Chisholm of Toronto Western Hospital says a research clinic here would provide a centre where he and other doctors could share information on eye treatment techniques with researchers. Because there is no eye research institute in Canada, those with disease or injures often travel to the U.S., the site of the nearest eye centres.
