Ontario doctors fight virus, system that exposes the vulnerable

Guest: Dr. Gaibrie Stephen, ER physician and member of the Decent Work and Health Network (DWHN) We all remember the haunting posts on social media — doctors across the province sharing stories of their patients who caught COVID-19 at work and fell seriously ill, or spread it to their families. As a result, the Ontario government implemented a temporary three-day paid sick leave program that's now being extended till the summer of 2022. Nurses, doctors and health care providers say it's not enough. An emergency room physician from Peel region joins "This Matters" to make the case for paid sick days and talk about how doctors ended up fighting on two front lines — the virus and the system that exposes the most vulnerable to the worst of it.
