BC Couple Places Ad in Newspaper to for Family Doctor
It took his wife putting an ad in the local newspaper, but Michael Mort has finally landed a family physician. The 82-year-old from Victoria, B.C., has needed one to write prescriptions and perform physical examinations since their doctor retired in December.
While placing a “doctor wanted” ad, might sound like an extreme step — the Morts are not the only ones to do so. Their decision earlier this summer inspired Gary Shuster in Vancouver to do the same, the only difference being that he offered a $5,000 reward.
