Mark Tyndall: Medical Care

Parliament Hill Dept: OTTAWA - Doctors threw on their white coats Monday and rushed to Parliament Hill, which they say is the scene for the start of a national medical emergency: deteriorating refugee health, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "We are launching into an uncontrolled, disastrous, human health experience by arbitrarily denying life-saving medical care to some of the most vulnerable and traumatized people in the whole world," said Dr. Mark Tyndall, the head of infectious diseases at the Ottawa hospital during a passionate news conference and the Parliament Buildings are silhouetted in Ottawa, June 13, 2012.
