In an email to CP24 Tuesday, a UHN spokesperson confirmed that Toronto General Hospital is under a “critical care bed alert” affecting their medical-surgical, coronary and cardiovascular intensive care units.
While under the alert, Kim said, the hospital is actively triaging patients that require specialized ICU care and is working collaboratively with Criticall — a ministry-funded organization that helps ensure patients in the province can access urgent and emergent care — to ensure patients “get the most appropriate care.”
The critical care bed alert at one of Toronto's busiest hospitals comes as the Ontario health-care system struggles to keep up with demand.that she is working with stakeholders in the health-care system to try and solve staffing shortages and other problem hampering care.Dr. Raghu Venugopal, an emergency room physician who works at three GTA hospitals, told CP24 that the strain on the system is plain to anyone seeking treatment.
Sure glad fordnation is spending $8.2 billion on highway to save seconds. Who wouldn't want that compared to lives.
If healthcare was private, there would be more doctors and nurses. Yet everyone still wants 'free' not so free healthcare.
Been away for 2 month and dont wanna come back. Why all the shit is happening in Canada? Why so inept so badly managed
When will you call for executive resignations? Heads should roll its been 2.5 years.
You told me lockdowns, masks, restrictions, firing workers, banning people from society, cancelling surgeries and cancer screenings would “protect the healthcare system” and now it’s crumbling after all that and you want me to feel sorry for the people who advocated for this?
Ask Ford why he is awol
As far as I know nurses are working, but not in hospitals. They're in Public Health, agencies, independent contractors, more money, better schedule, and working conditions.
All these comments about unvaccinated Healthcare workers aren't accurate. People just left the industry altogether. The money isn't worthy the risks, insane workload and terrible schedule. The job really sucks!!!
Isn't this what we voted for...or refrained from voting to enable? Lol
Fire unvaxxed staff, vaxxed staff has to take on double workload which causes burnout. Senior staff retired so there's no one to train new staff. No one wants to go into healthcare because of the lack of pay. But at least Ford is building a new hospital.🙃
This is definitely nothing new in the hospital systems
fordnation UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Yet Boss Ford is off golfing
RepealBill124
Shouldnt have fired the unjabbed
Its not COVID patients filling critical care beds (they are 4% occupancy) & its not because unvaxxed healthcare staff were fired (maybe 1% overall); its because we don't have enough doctors & nurses. Period. Why? Tough jobs, two yrs of pressure, insufficient pay for workload...
How are they to get their staff back? So many people have moved on .
This doesn't help:
Hire back the terminated healthcare workers. That should be the first thing
Hospitals are at the brinks of collapsing. When it happens hospitals will be forced to close doors to public. Where will the locals go for medical assistance?
Staff shortages due to being off with COVID but fordnation in denial that this is an ongoing issue, there is no break between variants and we don’t monitor or vaccinate! JustinTrudeau Canada is so far behind
Beg Refugees to come over with their families to get workers; once they get here, use policies to discourage/break their families, make sure their children become dog mommies, cry ‘no workers to staff our hospitals’, then, double down on the anti-relationships/family rhetorics.
When will you pressure hospital admin at hospitals to let unvaxxed work? And get rid of all Covid protocols. How many home for a sniffle? Self inflicted!! Embarrassment to our species onpoli DougFord
According to health minister everything is running smoothly so I’m really confused.
Sooner or later Canadians will have to confront the truth that our healthcare system is garbage.
Why did you fire thousands?
Let the unvaxed work. Problem solved.
You should been tweeting this stuff before the election. Too late now. 😡
It has very little to do with Doug Ford!! Blame it on those that forced the 💉!! All of the vaccinated are the sick/dying ones now!!
Leaked Video of Doug Ford practicing his speech about the current state of Health Care in Ontario:
It’s Trudeau fault. Re conservative news organization CP 24
Kicked out all the unvaxed. Now you have a problem.
Thanks Doug.
