More than six million Canadians don't have a family doctor. Millions more are waitlisted to see specialists and surgeons. We've never spent so much on healthcare as a nation, yet access to care has never been worse. How do we begin to heal healthcare?

2:45 | Drs. Shazma Mithani and Sheila Wijayasinghe, hosts of The Doc Talk podcast, tell us how the average Canadian can better know their rights and advocate for themselves and their loved ones. We cover today's top healthcare-related stories, including the first case of H5 bird flu in Canada, and Alberta cutting off publicly-funded vaccines for community health centres. Plus, is that $2,000 full body scan you're considering actually worth it?
