**They don't mention that many kids who got #covid (then #LongCovid) ended up at this clinic! Expect more #failures from #BCPublicHealth when they have #eugenist #BonnieHenry calling the #PublicHealthSafety shots. I'm not surprised with this news at all.**

#Pediatric unit closing, #physicians say they are overwhelmed by demand.

A memo from the #pediatricians to their non-ER physician colleagues said that the Urgent Pediatric Assessment Clinic will close on Sept. 1.

The memo advises that patients requiring urgent pediatric consultation — within 24 hours — should be sent to Victoria General’s emergency department, where they can be assessed by an ER doctor with a subsequent on-call pediatric referral as needed.

For patients needing semi-urgent pediatric consultation — within four weeks — the pediatrician on call at Victoria General can assist with the referral and triaging.

On a lighter note (let's face it - almost anything is lighter...). But not any less shocking...

This photo of a mouse was taken by a friend, in the cafeteria of the main hospital in Halifax, Canada! *

More mice were apparently spotted by this friend at the emergency dept in the Infirmary.

This is the same hospital where patients are advised against drinking or brushing teeth etc in water from the tap. The pipes are contaminated with Legionella.

And the same one where patients are practically suffocating in summer heat as they can't put air conditioners on the floors due to concerns over air quality.

I guess we should be grateful that Steven didn't come down with some disease from his two recent eye surgeries. And we are.

*What also shocked me was that this friend was actually feeding it.

#Memories of #caregiving & hospital advocacy support for fellow longtime #Indigenous #activist sister from #Dakota nation, Lady Chainsaw, at VGH in Victoria. She's doing lots better now & back fiercely protesting in Vancouver. I chained us to logging road infrastructure at blockades. We've faced off against RCMP multiple times, together.
