OUR SYSTEM IS FAILING US!!! !
My 17-year-old son was in a horrific accident on Monday. He was ejected from the vehicle, and we have been at Hamilton General ever since.
He has a fractured neck, a broken shoulder, broken ribs, broken elbow, broken collar bone and multiple other injuries.
And yet, since yesterday afternoon, my injured 17-year-old child has been left in a hospital hallway, under the brightest lights, with no privacy, no proper place to rest, and very little relief.
I understand our hospitals are overwhelmed. I understand our healthcare workers are stretched beyond their limits. This is not an attack on the nurses and doctors who are doing everything they can.
This is about a system that is failing both its patients AND its healthcare workers.
How have we gotten to the point where a child with a fractured neck and multiple traumatic injuries is left lying in a hallway?
And I don’t even want to make this about me, because I would sit beside my son on the floor for the rest of my life if that’s what he needed. But one week ago today, I finished 38 rounds of chemo. I’ve now spent days sitting in a hard chair beside him, running on fear, adrenaline and exhaustion, with no relief in sight.
Something has to change.
We work. We pay taxes. We pay into benefits. We do everything we’re supposed to do — and when our families desperately need help, where is it?
This isn’t acceptable healthcare.
This isn’t compassion.
And this isn’t something we should just learn to tolerate because “there aren’t enough beds.”
There aren’t enough beds. There aren’t enough resources. There aren’t enough supports. And our families and healthcare workers are paying the price.
We need change. We need accountability. And we need it NOW.
Because no parent should have to watch their seriously injured child recover in a hospital hallway.
Keep our money in Canada!!!! 🇨🇦

@theboyfromojo Quick Fact Check. However, there’s nothing bad about collaborations, twice the reach and success. “Two heads are better than one” some collab and it collapsed and others did and made an impact.
Why are you having Hydration break 20 mins into the 2nd half? Killing momentum for teams.
