Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Emergency department of North York General Hospital is crowded with patients seeking attention. Doctors; nurses and technicians are on duty around the clock; with others on call. Experts in health care suggest that many demands for emergency treatment are not justified. Many people don?t have family doctors to call on. Others find a hospital a convenient place to seek help in off-hours.
