For you and some others that is exactly the truth. |

I'm about ready to toss the granddaughter's computer out the door. I can't open the link Berton, I get a message about "see blank" in the address box. So in a nutshell, what did the link say. Just paraphrase it. |

In Canada that people go to the emergency room who need urgent surgery but are required to wait because elective surgery is taking all the resources. Further that no one knows how much wait time there is because that stat is not being rerecorded. That is about it in a nutshell. Edited by Berton, Dec 14 2013, 08:44 AM.

Was that for me? I prefer a system that does not have facilities sitting around gathering moss. So I can see such an event happening in every hospital in the world. |

Okay, if you accept waiting around a few hours for a appendectomy for your appendix to burst then that is your choice. But why not move elective surgery so you can have the urgent surgery you need? Edited by Berton, Dec 14 2013, 09:43 AM.

Why? Because you have to coordinate more than just a surgical cubical. Any surgery requires a team of doctors and nurses plus support staff and supplies. This is a business model dependent on structure not a fast food drive by. The hospital would have emergency staff that can stabilize a patient for transport to another facility that is not crowded. |

Neutral should change his handle to Neutered. It's very evident he has no testicles. |
