Reading this article yesterday, it has to be straight up propaganda. Disinformation from the canadian government.
"Code Black is a physician now practicing in B.C. after immigrating from the U.S. late last year. He writes under a pseudonym due to fear of further retribution from members of U.S. medical leadership and U.S. government officials. His identity has been verified by Canada Healthwatch."
"In Canada, burnout still exists. The hours are long, and resources are stretched. But the moral injury feels less acute. Most Canadian doctors still believe they’re working in a system that’s fundamentally trying to do the right thing. That kind of alignment matters."
Alzrighe and another doctor will continue to run their family practice at the same clinic. He said they each have 1,200 patients on their roster, and they're not accepting any more. He said his heart goes out to those who relied on his clinic and now have to go elsewhere. "If we made mistakes or any shortcomings, we are only human. We tried our best to do what we can at the time and I wish everybody best of health."
"In Canada, where social supports are (relatively) stronger, most patients come in with medical problems — not unsolvable social ones."
An expert committee reviewing euthanasia deaths in Canada’s most populous province has identified several cases in which patients asked to be killed in part for social reasons such as isolation and fears of homelessness, raising concerns over approvals for vulnerable people in the country’s assisted dying system.
"In some cases, patients spend 8 to 12 hours in the ER for non-urgent complaints. Critically ill or injured patients are triaged and treated immediately, as they should be."
I speak from personal experience on this one, only if your deemed worthy of care. If your missing a finger sure youll get care, but have cancer or something that needs long term support, better hope someone has pity for you.
Between 2012 and 2017, 26.1% of patients with cancer in Ontario received their diagnosis as part of an emergent presentation requiring urgent hospital admission as a consequence of an emergency department visit.4 As emergency physicians, we perceive that this proportion has increased substantially in the pandemic recovery period. People who have an emergency department visit associated with their cancer diagnosis are often older, do not have access to primary care, come from minority backgrounds, or have lower socioeconomic status than those who do not have an emergency department visit associated with their cancer diagnosis.5 They also have worse cancer-related outcomes, such as higher stage at diagnosis and worse overall survival.6
Straight up government disinformation mr code black.
Fills me with dread, perhaps im being overdramatic, but it feels like they are trying to actively kill me here.
Who the fuck denies someone medical help over refrigerant poisoning or parathyroid issues. Whack shit.
