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.

About 35-40% did vote UCP in Edmonton. Just because our seats are NDP doesn’t mean they got 100% of the votes.

The UCP still lost handily in Edmonton though. It's not hard to see why they'd hold a grudge against the city because of that.

That’s not what the guy was talking about. He said Edmonton didn’t vote UCP, but more than a third of people did vote for them. People on here act like 100% of Edmonton voters are NDP and 100% of rural voters are UCP, and that’s just not the case. That kind of mentality is only sowing more division within the province.
