The doctors at the Lachine Hospital have joined together to offer the equivalent of $ 90,000 in financial incentives to hire three respiratory therapists. Dr. Paul Saba, president of the Council of Physicians of the Lachine Hospital, explains that this initiative was set up in the hope of reopening the emergency room of the hospital center, which has been closed overnight since last Sunday, for a indefinite period.

Doctors intend to give a bonus of $ 15,000 per year, for two years, to the first three people who will be hired.
The Lachine Hospital is hard hit by the shortage of nursing staff. Dr. Saba is also of the opinion that this situation is a direct consequence of the actions of the Government of Quebec and the McGill University Health Center.
