AMA President Dr Omar Khorshid has claimed Australia is in the middle of a hospital “crisis” with facilities pushed to breaking point even without the added strain of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Khorshid said the overall message was “disappointing” because even in ideal circumstances when patient volume was low hospitals still “struggled”.

“And that's regardless of COVID. Forget COVID demand. Just in the normal course of events, we just don't have the capacity for our public hospital system to deliver.” “Now some of that is quite reasonable, because, of course, our hospital system’s gotten better in how we treat things,” he said. “As the baby boomer ages, and as we keep people alive with conditions that would have killed them in the past, it's causing a perfect storm of demand, which our system just hasn't evolved to be able to cope with.”

And the position is worse in the bush. If there’s a COVID outbreak in a regional area the local hospital will battle to cope.

Why don’t these bureaucrats tell us why hospitals are stretched? It’s because there isn’t anywhere near enough nurses & doctors. There’s overwhelming evidence of that, but you won’t hear sections of the MSM & Govt mention it, they’d rather say it’s Covid related.

Yes AMA the doomsday cult fanatics

My local hospital is fine. Empty corridors, no waiting ques, barely a patient in site. Do your journalists actually observe the hospitals or are you just taking the word of health?

Seems a lot of recent AMA claims have been proven wrong. Can we have some objectivity from the AMA

So stop firing so many willing workers..
