This is awful 😞 an it's happening all over Canada now. We have no health care now? No family doctor's no meditation? Rent prices through the roof an food cast that make no scene what so ever !?

Somehow, government sponsored euthanasia as healthcare may have an impact on the mindset of many healthcare workers, perhaps a certain loss of respect for the care and life of the patient.

This is just unbelievable. Triage should have caught the jaw pain and flu like symptoms as symptoms of a heart attack in women. And I am a lay person who has had that exact experience of a heart attack that was immediately triaged as I entered the ER and saved my life. Incredulous...What is going on with the triage part of the ER????

I saw a meme recently of an American, a UK citizen and a Canadian at the doctor. The American doctor said we can help you but that will be $5000, the UK doctor says we can help you in 16 months, the Canadian doctor says we can help you in 16 months but have you considered not being alive anymore?

Canada’s healthcare delivery model is collapsing, both here and it’s sister, the NHS in the UK. How many have to die.

You Canadians *REALLY DO NOT WANT FOR-PROFIT DEATHCARE!!!*

This absolutely terrible. I feel so sorry for the poor woman who passed away as well as her family. My family is from eastern europe (Balkans) and for the past two years, I have been trying to tell my elderly parents (one of whom is 63 and the other 76 years old) to consider relocating back to Serbia because the healthcare situation is so bad here. In certain European countries, including Serbia, and certain Scandinavian countries, there is a combined public and private healthcare system. In Serbia, the the private system is cheap and easily accessible. In general, going through the private healthcare system, an indidual can get an appointment to see a specialist, or a specialist test (such as a CT or an MRI) in a day or two.

Living in NB or NS is medical suicide...

I’m starting to understand why Cape Bretoners want their own provincial status .. at least then they can take the federal equalization they’d get and put it in their health care system. Might not be a bad idea for them to establish a medical school at UCB as well.

Another this week
Sorry for your loss

[gersonalves]

This isn't happening in Alberta. Tell turdeau to step down or you're giving this tragic event a two thumbs up!

We need private hospitals. This doctor rationing system is making ppl wait too long.
