Isle-aux-Coudres' island doctor

Although he won't talk politics, Dr. Marcel Ethier is the kind of family doctor being talked about so much in the current provincial election campaign. Dr. Ethier is the only doctor on Isle-aux-Coudres, with about 1,200 patients relying on his services. Sometimes the good doctor even arrives on horseback! The CBC's Peter Black met with Dr. Ethier and his horses, Patouf and Maggie.
