StéphanieThe healthcare system is so broken. I know some people come to the ER for small reasons because they don't have a family doctor, etc.
But a woman next to us has been here since 7 am. Average wait time is over 14 hours now.
At least it's free 😕
Idzie@stephanie oh no, I'm so sorry, I hope you get the care you need soon! 💚
And that's often what I've said: at least it's free :(
@stephanie and to be clear, the "at least it's free" is usually in the context of "well, at least we don't have to pay for our poor medical care" 😭
It sucks a lot, and has been the reason I've avoided the ER even when I know I should really go. I hope you're seen soon!
Renata 🇨🇦🐈@idzie @stephanie Michael Garron in East Toronto has something no one seems to know about and a lot of other hospitals should have that is a non-emergency appointment for minor injuries. You go on their website and make an appointment, then you go there and see the doctor for your (sprain and other minor obvious non life threatening things)
This helps a lot their ER and triage.
Why isn’t this common place, IDK
