It feels like the January surge…in October.
ICUs ok but colleagues in ER, paeds, medicine are managing incredible volumes.
Nurses/allied working flat out.
Managers and flow doing their best.
Would like to hear plan for supporting hospitals/HCWs/patients through winter.
The Ontario government is letting our public healthcare system collapse to make you frustrated. To make you think a private for-profit healthcare system would be better. To make you want to give up on an equitable healthcare system for all...Don't let them fool you!

Passed on solid line in 40km zone (again) bc I drive SAFE limit on a wet rainy morning. Somerville St is “shortcut” for speeders and a death waiting to happen. Many residents are concerned.
7:55 am today. Kids walking and biking to school.
We need to:
Ban assault weapons — and if we can’t, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21.
Ban high-capacity magazines.
Strengthen background checks.
Enact safe storage laws and red flag laws.
Repeal gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.
Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military combined.
Think about that.
For God’s sake how much more carnage are we willing to accept?
PSA: for anyone visiting an ED in #ontario in the next few months (hopefully not years...but likely)...
3hrs is the new 30min wait time.
For non life threatening issues, if you see an MD within 3hrs...consider yourself lucky...unfortunately.
It shouldn't matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.
My son took a fastball to the face and is sitting @LakeridgeHealth right now in Oshawa staring at 5.5hr wait with blood all over himself, @fordnation@AndreaHorwath@StevenDelDuca why don't you do something about the fucking horseshit healthcare in this province! @onpoli
It’s just sick that gun manufacturers have spent two decades aggressively marketing assault weapons which make them some of the biggest profits.
For God’s sake, let’s have the courage to stand up to the industry.
The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?
