🧵🚑#Matane
The disconnect between the various elements of the healthcare system continues to blow me away. Very early this morning - at 30 minutes after midnight, an ambulance was called to bring a patient home from the hospital in Matane.
The disconnect between the various elements of the healthcare system continues to blow me away. Very early this morning - at 30 minutes after midnight, an ambulance was called to bring a patient home from the hospital in Matane.
The paramedics who brought the patient home were working a 7/14 shift* and because that call maxxed out their hours without a break, a CNESST-forced pause began at 01H this morning and didn't come to an end until 09H this morning.
That left the entire Matane response zone with only one team of paramedics from 01H until 07H15 this morning.
*Why is there still a team of paramedics working a 7/14 shift in the Matane response zone? I've filed an Access to Information request with the MSSS to get an explanation as to the criteria for where/when ambulances are allocated. I'll let you know when I get a response.
