My Grandma was moved from #Lethbridge#yql ICU to the #Edmonton#yeg ICU to await a transplant.
Her liver and kidneys are both failing.
She is one of the ones drawing a short stick in the triage world.
1/
she is too sick to wait and they need the room in ICU for the increasing #COVID19AB cases in the province.
She has now been taken off the transplant list, and they are going to decrease her life support.
2/
We will lose her within days, none of us can see her, none of us get to say good bye. She will "live" her final days with no loved ones and only medical staff surrounding her.
She didn't end up with COVID but it was ultimately COVID that will take her away from us.
3/
maybe I'm just missing the logic, but working in a hospital and being affected personally, I'm a little upset, a little pissed off and a lot confused.
How can people be so ignorant, stubborn and at the same time lack even the most minimal empathy and compassion.

- @jkenney and the way he decided to NOT handle this pandemic is why I'm losing my grandma. @RachelNotley and the #NDP never would have let this happen. @SPhillipsAB
