This week, the Mississauga Hospital Emergency Department and Volunteer Resources teams unveiled a special piece of artwork in memory of long-time volunteer, Malcolm "Mal" Buchanan, who dedicated over 20 years of service to the Mississauga Hospital Emergency Department.
To honor Mal's legacy, the M-site ED staff initiated a collection in his name, commissioning a beautiful piece of art created by THP nurse and artist Michelle Byrne. The artwork captured Mal's essence in a touching tribute that will be installed in the Mississauga Hospital Emergency Department for all to enjoy.

One agency charges our ICU $105/h/RN.
In Sept 2021 they charged $64.50/h/RN.
This 62.8% rate increase = extra cost per shift of $455.62.
Agency RNs cover 15-20 shifts per week
Extra cost for one ICU ~$7-9K/week or ~$355-473K/year.
Price gouging will bankrupt public healthcare

Some thoughts on the #HealthCareCrisis in Ontario (and across Canada).
23 years as an EM physician and I have never seen things as bad as they have been for the last several months...with no sign of letting up
