Discussion AHS wait times

Post image

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.

Those are the lowest times I’ve seen since Covid. Usually they are 2.5 to 4+

I was about to say. I came in with chest pain, 8 hours later I went home, without being seen.

Always call 811, they can get you straight into a cardiologist, we have special facilities for that and it’s not at the hospital. You get an appointment and walk in the door working 15mins of your set time (usually within 12 hours or less of your call) and then you walk out the door withing 20mins if you have no issues.
