What on earth is wrong with our Health Care System that finds it acceptable to leave an old lady lying on the floor of a hospital until someone calls 911? If this was some kind of a joke it would be considered tasteless but what do you call it when it actually happens right here in Ontario? Disgusting certainly comes to mind.
Sarah Boesveld’s article in today’s National Post nicely demonstrates how poorly our Health Care System functions.
We all heard about the recent shocking situation with the little girl in China who was run over in the street and then left there bleeding for half an hour, completely ignored by the passers-by. How about a very similar situation in one of our own hospitals right here in Ontario!
The poor lady fell in the entrance of Greater Niagara General Hospital and broke her hip. When her son tried to get some assistance he was told to call 911! What? Are kidding me? Is this a joke? No, unfortunately it’s not but it does show what a joke the Health Care System really is.
If there is any leadership in this Liberal government then heads should roll. Many heads, starting at the top and working right through a few layers of management. Employees usually follow instructions but the responsibility for this insanity rests on the shoulders of management. If their employees don’t know what the protocol is for any such situation then the managers should be dismissed right away for not being competent.
The core problem related to the general weak performance of this Province is the very low quality of the managers. This isn’t rocket science. To see how to solve this problem you can see the platform of The Parkdale Party at www.parkdaleparty.com.
