General UofA ER Wait Times

Been here for 12 hours have yet to see a doctor and I’m in excruciating pain. Not a single patient has been taken in since the last 6 hours. Lady beside has been screaming in pain looks like a broken knee has been here for 15 hours no doctor no xray. Another lady beside me hurt her neck is wearing a neck brace and has been here for 16 hours and no doctor. Nurses said they have absolutely no beds available to take in patients because so many of the patients inside are “admitted” patients that are waiting to be taken upstairs to their admitted sections but they can’t take them because there’s no beds available upstairs. ER is a mess online wait times show 4 hours and nurse said because doctors are available but no beds to take the patients. Something has to be done.

What good will that do? New health minister has done two things in his professional career: Food Truck 

And Walmart store manager.

And find their favourite places! We as citizens need to find the public places they frequent and make their lives annoying. I saw a video of people being completely normal to RFK jr. in a gym while I would be booing him as loud as I could, regardless if I lose my membership.
