Obviously we don't know much about this. But it seems pretty shocking that GoA hasn't learnt any lessons from previous cases - published and unpublished. When are they going to get into their lane and fix healthcare?
Sarah Hoffman@shoffmanAB

Friday evening a man was brought into the Royal Alex Emergency Department by EMS. He was left in the waiting room. Hours later he was found in his seat dead. The government hasn’t told anyone. Acute Care Alberta hasn’t responded to requests for more information.

So true! We've pointed out, over years now, how GoA likes to frame other providers as "alternatives". This is a competition system and not a team based approach. Teams would help Albertans. Competition won't.
Braden Manns@BradenMannsYYC

You need a team! Teams of clinicians – not just family docs – are the future of primary care. Why don't most Canadians have one? Check out this new report on how doctors’ roles need to evolve, as does the way we pay them. spp.ucalgary.ca/sites/default/… #healthcarecanada #primarycare

Jeff Rath: "Danielle [Smith] is literally facing an existential turning point in her leadership. She can either decide to accede to the overwhelming will of the members of her party or she can lose all moral authority to lead the UCP and should likely go the way of Jason Kenney."

With the Andes hantavirus outbreak generating significant media coverage, I want to reassure Albertans that the risk in our province remains very low. There were no Albertans onboard the MV Hondius cruise ship. Unlike other jurisdictions, only two Albertans were potentially exposed while travelling on a flight. They remain healthy, symptom-free, and are isolating at home, with health officials checking in daily. Anyone else considered low risk has been contacted and is monitoring for symptoms. It is important to remember that person-to-person transmission of this virus has only been documented following prolonged close contact. There is no evidence that asymptomatic individuals can spread the virus to others. While the risk in Alberta remains very low, we will continue monitoring the situation closely to help protect Albertans.

🚨BREAKING!!!🚨 The UCP are literally defunding the courts! As the UCP throws money to support a separatist referendum through the courts… Alberta will no longer pay the people who type the court transcripts in criminal court (court reporters) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Premier @ABDanielleSmith has had multiple opportunities to shut down the separatist referendum. At every instance, she has refused and doubled down. This premier does not care about your rights or representing you - she only cares about keeping her power. #NotInItForYou #ableg

BREAKING: Premier Danielle Smith says that while her government supports Alberta staying in Canada, she will be appealing a court decision that quashed a possible separatist petition/referendum.

This pt died alone with no one there to report it. The HCWs are devastated and have literally been begging for help to improve the severe overcrowding. Meanwhile the Premier, who loves speaking publicly on separation issues, won’t even talk about the state of our HC system 4/4

Every AB should demand the Premier stop catering to minority issues and to tell them exactly what she has done to improve the safety at our major EDs. At a minimum, she should start by showing ABs she even cares about the state of our hospital Access… 3/4

I want to stress: the only reason a higher acuity pt (CTAS 2 or 3), coming in via EMS, is “offloaded” into the WR is because of SEVERE OVERCROWDING. This very dangerous offload process is deviant behavior that has become protocol and is standard operating procedure. 1/4

“All they're trying to do is discredit me”— @CorbLund frustrated after being branded a “crazy leftist” over his coal mining petition. He says volunteers like him—making nothing from the fight—care more about Alberta than an Australian billionaire. LISTEN:traffic.megaphone.fm/CORU6140579923…

Tim Powers reacts to Danielle Smith calling Alberta judge's decision 'antidemocratic': "Let's not forget the obvious fact we all learned in our civics classes: there's nothing undemocratic about the judiciary — they exist in our system to provide a check and a balance in circumstances like this."

It is our firm belief that changes to Alberta’s health care system, especially major shifts like dual practice, must be evidence-informed and physician-guided. AMA's Dual Practice Task Force has submitted proposed safeguards to government. albertadoctors.org/news/publicati…

I would like to know if there are any Alberta physicians willing to publicly - here - support the notion that if you’re more wealthy you deserve faster medical care than someone less wealthy.

BREAKING! Today the UCP not only voted to circumvent the Chief Justice of Alberta, but they also voted to hide the letter the Chief Justice wrote raising concerns about the boundary process! We have the text of the letter in our new Substack! #abpoli open.substack.com/pub/thebreakdo…
