Why would dozens of psychiatrists, dedicated to helping people at times of crisis, walk away from their jobs?

On one hand it’s a simple pay dispute, but those who’ve been inside the system say it’s broken, with a demoralised workforce delivering substandard care.

Today, Four Corners reporter Avani Dias on why dozens more doctors are threatening to quit and what it means for patients.
