A Winnipeg doctor hopes his legacy of providing health care to LGBTQ patients — one of only a few local physicians doing so at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis — extends beyond his life.
Dr. Dick Smith, who had pancreatic cancer, died with medical assistance on Tuesday. He was 80.
“My biggest thing that I want people to really get a grip on is that no minority of any kind, whether it be religious or sexual or racial, is ever safe,” Smith told CBC News in an interview 24 hours before he died.
