Guest: Megan Ogilvie and Kenyon Wallace, reporters

A group of orthopedic surgeons is leasing operating rooms from Ottawa’s biggest hospital. It’s a controversial move that the company says will help alleviate surgery wait-times in the province.

This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
