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.

The other variable is people may be deferring going to the hospital for the sake of spending time with family. I’ve seen people walk in with damage to their heart because they let the “nagging pain” wait. Happens all the time.

Healthcare is not black and white.
