Somehow, we need to get the general populace of Ontario to realize that long ER wait times are bad.

Last time the paramedics were called (I suffer chronic, terminal lung & heart disease) I refused a trip to the ER because I couldn't bear the thought of lying strapped into a gurney for 6 hours.

I'm still waiting for the pollsters to ask 𝐦𝐲 opinion on that …

@drakakis One of our family members had a serious health issue where we *should* have called the paramedics sooner, but put it off because we knew what was waiting for us in the ER.

By the time we did call, it had gotten so bad that they bumped us to the front of the queue.

See, it worked! Couldn't convince my nurse of that …

@drakakis It worked, but... it feels like playing roulette with our health.
