Semi random, but some old dude falls last week, in a fucking hospital lot and no one will move his ass for hours LMAO. There is something wrong with these people. "compassion fatigue" is their excuse.

from the article:

Foster said she was shocked the hospital couldn’t do more for the man, who was injured mere metres from the hospital’s doors. She said staff told her because it was an emergency, it was an issue for the emergency department.

Bureaucratic paralysis... don't know what the term for it is, but that's my best description.

Meanwhile the Premier (I assume equivalent to a governor here in the states?) completely misses the source of the problem, which means he'll make the problem worse (emphasis mine):

When asked about the incident, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said no one should have had to wait that long for an ambulance, and said he’s looking into what happened.

Could doctors and nurses be frozen into inaction by regimented bureacracy be the problem? oh, certainly not, but maybe the doctors and nurses were just at fault for not stepping outside the little box you drew with red tape for them:

“I understand some people have reached out to people who were working inside the building. We’ll try to understand what — is there any liability issue for them to come in the parking lot, all these types of things,” said Houston.

...and here come the gibs...:

He added that while investments are being made in health care, the case serves as a reminder more improvements are needed.

Once more with the ambulance nonsense, the man shouldn't have needed to wait for an ambulance when there's healthcare professionals right fucking there :

“There are standards for sure for ambulance response times. And, you know, we look at the data on how often that’s met. It’s being met more often,” he said.

...People like this make me ill...
