Is Canada's health care system failing patients in northern communities?

Dr. Mike Kirlew is a family physician based in Sioux Lookout, Ont., and he’s one of the few doctors that flies into remote Indigenous communities. He says the level of care his patients receive is nowhere near comparable to what other Canadians receive.
The National followed Dr. Kirlew on the job in Sioux Lookout and on his monthly trip north to Wakepeka, where he has been the community's doctor for the past 10 years.
