It's not like there are less surgeries needed...

The main cause is a severe shortage of personnel [people out w/ #COVID19, influenza, etc., or people w/ #burnout!] needed to perform surgeries!

There are 134 closed operating rooms out of the 560 available across the province of Québec, and 3/4 of operating rooms are underutilized.

Je hais la CAQ pour ses lois top-down mal foutues, mais je haïs encore plus l'hypocrisie des Fédérations! Quand j'entends les docteurs brailler qu'ils sont « fragilisés » depuis le Centre Bell, mon sang ne fait qu'un tour. On est pris en otage entre des maladroits au pouvoir et des nantis qui refusent l'imputabilité. Qui paie les pots cassés? Moi, qui attends un médecin à vie!

Je hais la CAQ, mais j’haïs encore plus la plainte du docteur à 400 k$

Je déteste la CAQ, mais encore plus l'hypocrisie des médecins : ils se disent fragilisés par la Loi 2, mais paient le Centre Bell pour pleurer à 400$K
