Hey AB: Our functional ED capacity in the Edmonton area has been devastated We have NEVER had overcrowding in our EDs that looks like this in our summer (typically we see admitted volumes decrease in the summer) > 6mnths since Mr. Sreekumar's tragic death, NOTHING is better 1/2

I am on call at the U this week. It’s bad- sick people in hallways, people who’d usually be admitted being sent out, HCW trying so hard to keep it safe in an inherently unsafe level of system overload. In JULY?!?! (From my view I don’t see system level administration engagement at all either.) It is genuinely bad.

💯 the Premier’s call She made this decision. She’s tried to blame it on the AHS people she fired (likely solely to try to hide the truth)… Almost 50M still missing and she doesn’t care…

Smith is making a big deal of the fact that the Meta center is supposed to be using closed loop cooling... But the power plant, Project Greenlight says in its application it's going to be pulling the water for the plant from Sturgeon County's municipal water... How much?

Just a little something to chew on... Our prov govt wants to add even MORE private pay HC to our system and pretend like it's less than other countries... (and cherry pick parts of other systems) We already pay far too much out of pocket compared to so many other countries...

The braindead ideology of Canada's left on full and perfect display here👇 Virtually every health care system in the developed world has universal, public access, but permits various forms of private payment. The social democracies of Scandinavia and Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Korea, et al. Canada is an extreme outlier in trying to maintain a rigid state monopoly that prevents innovation, driving desperate Canadians to seek care outside our country. That's why we are in the top quartile of the OECD on health care expenses, but the bottom quartile on results, e.g. diagnostic and surgical wait times. But the Canadian left is "horrified" by the idea of adopting aspects of systems with universal insurance that deliver better results at lower cost. Their message to families desperate for timely care: just keep paying more, and keep waiting longer. Don't you dare step out of line and ask why the French, Swedes, Aussies, or Japanese et al can get faster care at lower cost.
