Just sad stories to read. The hospital staff are stressed, overworked, it's overcrowded etc.

Ontario had a term "Hallway Healthcare" as that's where people would be treated if they were lucky. Ontario is going to collapse fairly soon but other provinces are in trouble too.

All of this and they persecute a man like myself for decades for just wanting to live his life and trying to forge closer relations with allies rather than undermining them. It's sick. They manufacture threats and then knowing that the threat is fake they continue the racket to make money at my expense and ultimately our nations expense.

This is why Trump is going to win this trade war if such a war exists. I always wish my country success but we have some really bad actors here operating in the Security Industrial Complex. They would kill me if given the chance, I am not exaggerating. They are killing people on hospitals too it seems when they steal our resources which could have been utilized in hospitals.

From the RCMP on down, THIS is Canada....



For Tim Lang, the smell in the hallway of Saskatoon's Royal University Hospital has lingered.

Lang visited his mother there last week after she was taken to hospital to get an MRI after suffering a stroke.

His mother spent three days in the hospital's hallway last week awaiting the MRI.


And Lang, who lives in Unity, about 170 kilometres west of Saskatoon, is now vowing to avoid Saskatoon if either he or a family member requires health care.

He said he witnessed unsanitary conditions at RUH, including the stench from patients who had soiled themselves, and counted hundreds of people passing by his mother's hospital bed in the hallway.

"So you're in a hospital emergency room and the cleanliness is terrible," Lang said in an interview Thursday. "The traffic — you've got a stroke victim lying in a hallway where 500 people a day walk past your bed. It was just brutal."

John Ash, vice-president of integrated Saskatoon health with the Saskatchewan Health Authority, told reporters Thursday that the peak of the overcrowding has passed.

Ash held a news conference in response to viral social media videos posted by Saskatoon real estate agent Lynn Harmon showing patients crowded into hallways at RUH.

At the height of the capacity pressure last week, 42 patients were waiting for an in-patient bed, Ash said.

"Your ultimate goal is we don't want to have patients waiting in the hallways," he added.
 
It's pretty bad here in BC too. My dad was admitted to the emergency, they found he had a tumor and also in need of a stent to bypass (I forgot the terminology used) some stuff in his tummy. Anyway it was pretty serious stuff, and he had to spend many days in the hallway. I still remember visiting him.
