Quebec’s health minister has announced that six hospitals will be forced to partially close their emergency departments for the summer due to staff shortages. It's a chronic problem in the healthcare system that seemingly has no short-term solution. And as Global’s Dan Spector reports, healthcare workers warn that the closures could have dire effects on patients.
