Please HELP Alberta!
This is real data from EDM EDs
It shows the worsening trend of completely blocked EDs
Share widely and talk about this!
Help bring this to the Premier/govt's attention (maybe call into her radio show, as that seems to inform govt policy!!!)
1/4
Important context:
- this shows total EIPs in a month (sick pts stranded in the ED, blocking care for NEW emerg pts)
- at 1500: safe and timely care really suffers
- at 2500: waits escalate and many bad outcomes occur
- > 3000: people start dying in our WRs and hallways
2/4
- this SKYROCKETING trend is happening in all major AB EDs, but EDM is the worst hit
- Premier Smith personally decided to cancel a new EDM hospital despite this GRIDLOCK
- promised govt strategies (TLP WR doc is only one example) are not happening
3/4
4625 EIPs in the month of JUNE is a TRUE DISASTER not just "immense pressure" as prev HC Minister Jones admitted
If you want a functioning emergency care system in our province, can you please help?
Ask the Premier what she intends to do to correct this IMMEDIATELY
4/4
