Having spent a fair bit of time at CHEO, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, with my kid to resolve their seizures and also having been once to the Gatineau hospital emergency room because the ambulance would only stay on the Quebec side we just learned to drive our kid directly to CHEO.

It is really the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario And Western Quebec, CHEOWQ. And for that matter northern Ontario and Iqaluit.

Desjardins-Gunville also feels some Gatineau Hospital staff failed to treat the family with compassion, including questioning the family's choice to bring Bélanger to that hospital instead of CHEO. Desjardins-Gunville said she had been told by CHEO to take Bélanger to the nearest hospital in the case of an emergency.

"I live in Gatineau, literally three minutes from the hospital. Why would I go to CHEO?" Desjardins-Gunville asked in French.

Mme Desjardins-Gunville précise que la petite Chloé avait déjà été hospitalisée à plusieurs reprises en janvier après avoir contracté plusieurs virus, dont la COVID- 19. « Ses poumons étaient déjà très faibles et son asthme était difficile à contrôler », raconte-t-elle.

ADVICE REQUEST

I am looking for recommendations for a Canadian mastodon server/community.

Background -- I am about to launch a coaching service connected to a relationship wellness centre, and would like to have a professional mastodon presence. I'd like to be on a server that has some local community. My personal account will remain on my self-hosted system.
