Skeleton Crew!

What a team! Haha, not funny but it may come to this. Nurse shortage, physicians left and leaving each time you turn a news paper page. Warning by NLMA that more are leaving! Where does it stop? Hey Danny Can You Say

CRISIS?

Bubba I hate to burst your bubble, but we are there! Maybe your staff is not filling you in on the dailies out here, maybe they forgot to tell you how Roger died, or how a lady in Labrador had cancer for seven months before Eastern Health told her? Wait! What about the kids locked up at the Waterford or the lady who lost her oxygen funding because of an income threshold that she was two dollars and cents over.

Maybe it's a matter of I can't recall, but the truth is; people are hurting, people are suffering and the reality is, people are dying out here in the real world. It becomes a sad day when ill people feel safer staying home, than they do going to hospital.

Has it not become clear? The people of this province will give up the oil, ore, and water deals for a safe and secure health care system. I believe in this case we need to spend money to save it. Would it not be more beneficial to hire doctors who graduated from Harvard, rather than gradate from the St. John Ambulance first aid program?

It does not matter how good our recruitment program is, if we can't/won't pay, then doctors are not coming. Health care costs are universal, and those unable to pay become very obvious and known as a system on a lower scale of quality health care. Danny, we are heading toward that list, some would say we are there.

We are living with a skeleton crew, and it is. Undoubtedly, it's a CRISIS
