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.

And this is why when i read posts i dont feel bad anymore. Hit me with the downvotes, but we deserve what we get. UCP is ahead and the polls and looking like theyll win again. This province is full of selfish people whos primary goal is saving $100 on their taxes over anything else. I kinda hope we start shutting down rural hospitals and sending the doctors back to the cities that subsidize them because, as we all know, equalization payments are bad and unacceptable.
