Continued COVID stressors means hallway treatment for many ER patients: Head doctor

At one point on Saturday afternoon, 26 people in Saskatoon were “admitted no bed.”

“Over the last six months to a year, we’ve lost a lot of senior nursing staff because a lot of them have moved on the continuing stress of working in the emergency departments, due to COVID and other issues,” Sempien saidSaskatchewan NDP health critic Matt Love questioned the health minister about the issue this week.

“We have created ICU capacity, a $21 million injection, and high acuity. We have our urgent care centre — the announcement just a week-and-a-half ago,” Merriman responded. He also stressed that E.Rs are always open and ready to help, even if the help takes place in a hallway.
