A critical care bed alert has been issued for three intensive care units at Toronto General Hospital, making it the latest hospital strained under a wider staffing shortage.
There are almost 60 beds across the three ICUs , which support the high volume of cardiac, cardio-vascular, cancer, and transplant surgeries that happen at the hospital. “CritiCall will, as usual — in consultation with the ambulance services — ensure that a patient in an emergency situation will be transported to a hospital that has ICU capacity.”
Doug Ford let our Healthcare collapse!
Ontario’s healthcare was doomed even before the pandemic. 15 years of hallway medicine under Liberals who also fired thousands of nurses. Canada has 2.5 hospital beds per 1000 people. Compare to Japan and Korea with 13/1000. This wasn’t a covid crisis. It was a healthcare crisis
Saw exact same thing in 2018.
‘People in the community don’t know how bad the problem is’ because the Ford government is actively trying to collapse the Health Care System in Ontario in order to PRIVATIZE while simultaneously gaslighting Ontarians into blaming the Fed. gov't for a provincial responsibility.
Honest question, are there vaccine mandates for staff? If so, would lifting them help lessen the load?
