Wife took a serious spill this morning walking the dogs while I was elsewhere hiking - bad enough to head to the hospital for X-rays on the ankle. A friend took her to the ER at Vic General #yyj.

What a terrible situation. When I got there they announced it was a 9 hour wait. When I left an hour later it's up to 14 hours.

She'd had an X-ray and is literally just sitting waiting for results. Could be hours yet before someone can look.

I had to clean and dress a sizeable wound on her leg that they didn't deal with either. I had my hiking #firstaid kit with me and it felt great to be #prepared and have the right supplies on hand, but she's in a hospital ffs.

The state of our healthcare feels bad, man. Bring back the 1950's NDP. Or any government that is for the people instead of crony capitalism.
