Time for a #GordonLightfoot biopic? I think so! I vote #ChrisPratt to play lead.

Okay, fellow #novascotians : This moon mist East Coast Lifestyle hoodie keeps showing up on my FB feed. I mean, it's nice and all, but doesn't this "Spark Paws"(?) hoodie look so much more moon misty? Like drawing something from shoddy memory vs. using a reference photo.

And don't tell me this is because of the pandemic, or that care is always available, even if not in your immediate community. Or that any of this is the fault of the tireless doctors, nurses, or EMTs.

#NSHealth will only pay for 1 doctor in the OPD/ER. Which means one doctor is responsible for everyone who comes in by ambulance, as well as the multitudes of people waiting in the OPD. I myself have waited for 13hrs before. I have also had friends who have experienced this.

What is our government doing to fix this system? We are lucky that we live in this beautiful country, but that doesn't mean we have to be quiet about what's wrong. This is WRONG.

I don't have enough characters on here to explain the bullshitery at our local OPD right now. #NSHealthcare #whatajoke

So... they just came out, called a man's name, couldn't find him...and then disappeared into the back again. Didn't call anyone else instead. 10 minutes ago.

There are people here in the OPD who had been waiting since 8:30, and haven't seen a doctor yet. That's 8.5hrs. I've been here almost 7hrs. If I knew when I left my house this morning that I'd end up here, I would have brought a book. Or two. 🙄 #nshealthcare

Almost 5 hours so far at the Yarmouth OPD. One thing for sure, though: the people here might feel miserable, bored, and hate the wait, but they are still full of small town charm and friendliness. #NSHealthcare

[Kris 🍁 @KayEhHaze]

Wait time has now been changed to an estimated 8 hours in the OPD. #NSHealthcare

[Kris 🍁 @KayEhHaze]

The group conversations have begun in the OPD waiting room about our Healthcare system; lack of physician availability, wait times, not enough family doctors, etc.

Almost 3 hours in OPD. No free seats in waiting room #1. Considering taking a drive around town and coming back in a few hours, eating - but what if, by some miracle, they call me while I'm gone? There are people that have been waiting since 8am (6hrs). #NShealthcare

[Kris 🍁 @KayEhHaze]

Waiting in the OPD for over 2 hours now. So bored that I answered a 100 question quiz about #10ThingsIHateAboutYou. (Got 82/100). I have only heard them call 2 people in so far. #nshealth

[Kris 🍁 @KayEhHaze]

I've been triaged, 40 minutes into my wait. They are estimating a 4-5 hour wait, so I'm expecting more like 8-10, based on past experience. #nshealth

[Kris 🍁 @KayEhHaze]

20 minutes in, and one person has made it though triage. Not bad. I'm entertaining myself by watching the trailer for the new #Willow movie. So exciting! Sitting in this dingy waiting room? Not so much. #nshealth

[Kris 🍁 @KayEhHaze]

Arrived at the OPD in Yarmouth, NS at 11:20. There are at least 13 other people waiting. I haven't checked the secondary wait room.
I am #75. Triage just called in #73. #nshealth

[Kris 🍁 @KayEhHaze]

Live tweet my experience in the Outpatients Department (OPD) in Nova Scotia? Sure, why not. I hope >'m not in for another 13 hour wait. Only time will tell. #nshealth
