'I'd gone past angry': Mum's anger, despair over son's hospital treatment as staff plea for system fix

One of the biggest impacts of COVID has been on the already strained workforce of doctors and nurses who work in emergency departments.

"So it's incredibly stressful to try and cover the shift, provide the care, knowing that they're working down and can only do so many double shifts before they burn out themselves.""That is something that nurses have shared with me, they're used to getting abused, maybe physically, but definitely verbally, once a shift, or twice a shift, but now it's increased by eight-fold, ten-fold, of what they're experiencing.

Ambulance ramping caused by overcrowding in emergency departments has been experienced around the country. Professor Robson said the primary care sector that general practitioners operate in needs to be properly funded so GPs can coordinate care for patients with complex and chronic medical conditions.

fordnation CBCNews 1OntarioDoctor Aust has private and public health. Still a disaster! The emergency dept are unable to care for patients! Its not Covid-19! Its a total lack of staff due to the Boomers retiring. Low pay. Enforced overtime. But hey, lets go private here too!!

Sadly, it is the same here in Canada. Politicians are trying to blame Covid, but the ER's in Aust have had serious issues for years. Government has been warned for years that this issue would get worse as the Boomers are all retiring. They took no notice.

shouldn't it be 'plead'?

‘Angry Birds’ has nothing on ‘angry’ Joe Biden: PanahiAngry Birds – those irate wingless creatures hellbent on destruction – have nothing on an 'angry Joe Biden', Sky News host Rita Panahi says.

Not one decent commentator. Meanwhile Trump is having a meltdown over the FBI retrieving all those secret documents. The real problem for the US is that the FBI was to late.
