Emergency departments are in a state of crisis, Halifax ER chief says

Magee, reached on the phone following an overnight shift at Halifax’s QEII Health Sciences Centre emergency department, said that often he and his peers must tend to patients in hallways and closets. Wait times can be “extraordinarily” long, he said, adding that patient care is not as good as it could be.

He said the pressure ER staff are under has resulted in stress and long-term exhaustion that have driven many to reduce their working hours or leave the profession. “I’ve never seen the morale among physicians and nurses and other health-care professionals so low.”Air Canada customer battles airline after AirTag tracks missing bag stuck over 8,000 km away
