East Kootenay communities trying to attract more doctors suffer setback

A group representing family doctors in B.C.'s East Kootenay has been denied a $45,000 funding request from the regional district. The group had hoped to use the funds to attract more doctors to the region. As CBC's Corey Bullock reports, it comes as the area and the province face a shortage of physicians.
