Anybody listening to last week’s Bay Bulls public council meeting might have gotten a fright when they heard that council was in receipt of notification of the business closure of Morry’s Walk in Clinic along the main road.
In a province where ‘doctor shortage’ seems to be a commonly accepted fact by everyone but the politicians, news of a clinic closure on the Southern Shore would doubtless raise concerns.
The clinic, which opened in 2015, is indeed closed — and as of last week has been removed from the town’s tax roll — but Dr. Peter Morry is still practising.
The Irish Loop Post spoke to a staff person at the clinic, who confirmed that though the clinic building is closed, Morry is still seeing patients by virtual appointments.
Like many doctors, Morry, originally of Ferryland where he now resides with wife Jo, has been seeing patients largely through virtual appointments through the pandemic.
The Irish Loop Post did not hear back from Morry himself by publication deadline.
