A Cambridge Memorial Hospital spokesperson says eight surgeries have been cancelled due to high patient volumes in the hospital’s emergency department, which have been compounded by staff shortages and staff vacancies.
The hospital also warned earlier this week that emergency wait times were “much higher than normal” due to high patient volumes and ongoing staff shortages. It said patients would be seen in priority order if they required emergency care, while advising those who were able to seek alternate health-care options.
The latest data from Ontario Health shows that the average wait time for a patient to receive a first assessment by a doctor in an emergency room in the province was 2.1 hours in the month of June. The average length of stay in an emergency room for all patients admitted to a hospital was 19.1 hours.
Guelph General just at 83% capacity (65% ICU) right now. Just 15 minutes away. So all is good. Transfers are done ALL the time for the past 75 years we've had hospitals. No news.
Fired the Heros of the pandemic then act surprised that the healthcare system is crippled
Remember. We shut down society for two years to protect this.
Re hire the unvaxxed. I personally do not care who is vaxxed when saving my life.
Vacksine and Mask mandates work!
Self inflicted. Hire back unvaccinated
Maybe you shouldn’t fire people over a useless serum.
Patrick Gaskin is the CEO. He makes over $300,000. Maybe we should hold him responsible? Maybe we could lessen the useless COIVD protocols to reduce staff constraints.
Hire back unvaccinated doctors and nurses problem solved 👍

Hospital in southwestern Ontario cancels several surgeries due to ongoing staff shortagesA spokesperson for Cambridge Memorial Hospital says eight surgeries have been cancelled due to high patient volumes in the hospital’s emergency department And no mention of fordnation and SylviaJonesMPP. They are responsible for this!!! CdnMediaFailed Hold them responsible for this mess!! NeverVoteConservative Meanwhile thousands of vaxx-free healthcare workers are still at home thanks to the hospitals own policy. The media wants you to ignore that and be big mad at Ford though. Are you going to fall for it? Why are non vaccinated nurses and staff allowed back at work !? I believe that would ease some of the pressure, While letting go of the redundant, over-staffed, unneeded hospital management positions would ease some of the the money crunch we are experiencing

This GTA doctor is driving hours to keep ERs openGTA physician Dr. Nour Khatib drove three times to rural Ont. hospitals last week to keep them from closing due to staff shortages. Because they’re so over run with Covid, right? That’s why hospitals were on the “brink” the last few years, because of Covid, not because of staffing. That would be ridiculous because that would be the governments fault, so it had to be because of Covid.
