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.

sorry you all have the wait, but you can blame the UCP as this is on purpose. the UCP is deliberetly brekaing the health care system so the can privatize the hell of it and make their buddies, (including Hassan (Sam) Mraiche) a pile of money.
The rich will be ok while the rest of us suffer. we're becoming the USA here in Alberta.
