Neurologists Resign from Interior Health Over Workload Concerns
What happened
Five neurologists resigned from Interior Health. Dr. Niall Davidson was among those who left. Adam Thompson confirmed the resignations, stating the tipping point was being asked to provide on-call neurological services to the entire health authority region, rather than just their own community.

Why it matters
The resignations create a severe staffing and operational crisis for Interior Health. This situation increases political pressure on provincial funding and policy decisions.
