I am so mad. So Mad. Our #abhealth system is beyond broken. A dear friend and new mom is needing transfer from a rural hospital to #RDRHC for a procedure. A very necessary procedure to remove excess fluid around her lungs. 1/5

Today she was unable to get that transfer because of the gross mismanagement of @AHS_media and incompetence of @JasonCoppingAB, @jkenney and all the other @UCPCaucus shrills. Read that again, she was denied transfer for a chest tube placement, as there was no EMS available 2/5

So she sits, and worsens in an understaffed and ill-equipped rural site until one of two things happen. She will either worsen and require imminent transport and higher level care, or she will wait— uncomfortable and short of breath until such time that EMS can be procured 3/5

I am scared for my friend, and for her family. I am livid that the @UCPCaucus and @AHS_media @AHS_CentralZone has come to this grossly negligent standard of care. 4/5

I am sad for the the countless front line staff that have to watch and wait and sit on their hands due to a lack of resources, all of which is directly connected to @jkenney and his ilk. I hate this province and I hate the @UCPCaucus #abhealth #abpoli #abgov
