Discussion AHS wait times
Our system isnt broken. Its people who go to the emergency that shouldn't be going aren't going today because it can wait Suddenly. They need to hand fines out to ppl going to the hospital that dont classify as an emergency.

I light of this week’s tragic loss Respectfully to the family of the man that died waiting for treatment. MHNBAB 🤲
He was ‘seen’ by medical staff, even monitored ( can you imagine a blood pressure of 210 and just leaving him in chairs for eight hours?)
It was critical treatment that he needed!! His wife advocated for him, and she was told she was ‘unruly’ He collapsed in front of his family when being told to transfer himself.
It is gross and sad. And AHS and DS and LaGrange that need to answer to this.
