  "It would be nice if there was nothing, if everybody was on the same playing field, then you'd know it's not for the money," says Abby Leavitt, physician recruiter for the Quinte Health Care Corporation, which operates hospitals in Bancroft, Belleville, Trenton and Picton.
  ...
  Leavitt admits that communities without that kind of money or motivation can't compete on the same level.Yet, desperate for doctors, they can't afford not to do something.
  
  "You have to play the game, basically," she says.

  Since the QHC program began in 2004, QHC recruiter Abby Leavitt said the hospital has attracted more than 30 doctors, about nine family physicians and 24 specialists.The hospital money - $10,000 a year for five years and up to $10,000 for relocation expenses - is available to a physician who locates anywhere in Hastings or Prince Edward counties, but the doctor must take hospital privileges, meaning he or she will follow up with treatment of their patients who end up in hospital.

  Abby Leavitt, who keeps on top of physician recruitment and retention at QHC, said there are about 20,000 to 30,000 orphaned patients - residents without a family doctor - in Hastings and Prince Edward counties.
  
  She said Hastings needs about10 family doctors, while Belleville requires 10 to 15, depending on how large a practice each will open and how many current doctors plan on retiring in the next several years.
  ...
  That means doctors "follow their own patients that are admitted to hospital," Leavitt said.
  
  It also means taking part in the hospital call rotation, one day every two weeks as it now stands.The doctors could be called in to see patients who show up at hospital and do not have a family doctor.
  
  "They would admit any of the orphan patients in the community that need to be admitted," Leavitt said, and look after the patients until they are discharged.
  
  The doctor and nursing shortage remains so acute that Leavitt asked for members of the public to talk to anyone they see over the holidays who is a physician or nurse, or a student in the two professions.
  
  Call her with any leads, Leavitt said, at 969-7400, ext. 2600, or e-mail her at aleavitt@qhc.on.ca.
