Finlay’s parents trusted the system. What they got was delay, silence, and unimaginable loss. Thank you @globeandmail for sharing their story. #FinlaysLaw #Finlaysvoice

@raghu_venugopal 100% ER crowding is real. But triage exists for a reason. Patients with life-threatening conditions must be identified and treated promptly, regardless of volume. We should absolutely wait for all the facts, but a systemic strain should not excuse a failure to provide timely care

This isn't right.

This is a person. His name is Lloyd Coakwell. He spent six days in a hallway at Royal University Hospital.

Hundreds of people passed by around the clock.
Bright lights prevented him from sleeping.
Directly across from him were piles of soiled linens.

Lloyd deserved better.

Today, the Health Minister downplayed Lloyd's experience and he refused to take him up on his challenge — to spend a single day in that same hospital hallway.

Lloyd, we won't stop fighting. For healthcare. For human dignity.

Finlay’s story is a painful reminder of the work Ontario must do in its emergency departments.

It’s long past time to lower ER wait times and end ER closures.

That means ensuring every Ontarian has a family doctor to ease the overwhelming pressure on ERs. It also means making sure every qualified internationally trained ER doctor can practice in hospitals that need them.

It means ramping up recruitment and training of new healthcare workers so our emergency departments can keep running smoothly.

And it means retaining the healthcare workers we already have. Retention is too often overlooked in Ontario. We need to make nurses, PSWs, and hospital professionals feel respected, valued, and safe. The last thing we need is more wage-capping legislation like Bill 124.

These are three of the most fundamental steps we can take to lower ER wait times and end ER closures in Ontario. It will take targeted, bold policies to achieve these goals. Our team is working hard to put them forward. We should be back in the legislature treating what’s happening in Ontario’s emergency departments exactly as what it is: an emergency.

My thoughts are with Finlay’s family and friends.

Thanks to @am640 for having me on their show this morning to discuss Ontario’s ER crisis and the lawsuit that’s forced the issue into the spotlight. #finlaysvoice #medicalmalpractice

I’m honoured to represent the van der Werken family. 16-year-old Finlay died after waiting for more than 8 hours in an Ontario ER. Their bravery in sharing their story is extraordinary.

@TheBikingLawyer @Jleerankin @TorontoStar I remember reading about your attack when it happened. Seeing what you’ve built since is nothing short of incredible.
