Montreal Health Services
Budget cuts have made emergency units in hospitals outrageously crowded and
hospitals partly unsafe. Due to short-sighted management in the past, large
amounts of medical professionals were offered retirement without checking first
whether there were enough people to replace them. Doctors have become few and
far between. If you find one, you can't get an appointment and lately some of
them have been pressuring the government, students and patients for income negotiations.
The situation has become way beyond market scarcity rules and people are starting
to comment that some of them possibly make a mistake when taking their Hippocratic
Oath by changing some of the letters... Canada and Quebec are both currently
ruled by countryside representatives. And it partly feels like some party-only
festival people took the keys to government houses for some kind of world navel
celebration and never returned those keys to authorities who might have and
use their actual and real thinking capacities.
