2) Dr. Lucie Opatrny was previously known to many Quebecers as the deputy health minister in charge of hospitals during the #pandemic. Whether she can fix the MUHC’s major ER overcrowding problem remains to be seen, She told me this will take a team effort.
3) After first dodging an interview for weeks, the MUHC graciously accepted to let me ask Dr. Opatrny some questions. Her answers were so detailed and frank, I expect to write a couple more stories from that interview.
4) Once again, thanks to all those supporters on Twitter who pressed the MUHC, Quebec’s largest hospital network, to grant the interview with Dr. Opatrny.
5) A side note: Gazette photographer @dsidaway was assigned to take a picture of Dr. Opatrny for my story. He did that, but on his way there he happened to snap this wonderful pic at the Shriners Hospital for Children next door. Please see below. 👇 
6) As some of you may recall, the Shriners wanted to move this hospital to London, Ont., in 2006. But a massive grassroots effort prevented that from happening - after I first sounded the alarm in a year-long series of stories in the @mtlgazette. Please support local journalism.
