We should employ Nurse Anesthetists in Canadian hospitals like they do in most other countries to help reduce the Anesthesiologist shortage.
An anesthesiologist shortage is delaying surgeries across Canada, physicians say

We have been saying this to governments since 2008! Why are they unwilling or unable to build up the commuity resources to address this root cause of ER overcrowding and sub-standard patient care.

#DYK that Ontario has 25 Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinics (NPLCs) currently serving over 100,000 previously orphaned Ontarians?
Find an NPLC near you by visiting: npao.org/nplcs/

Thanks to @ColinDMello and the team @globalnews for highlighting this @UHN first-in-Canada social medicine housing initiative. #PrescriptionForHousing

The Hospital network is building 51 modular housing units that can be prescribed to homeless individuals who are highly dependent on emergency rooms.

I just finished an emerg shift in rural Ontario today.
I saw an elderly patient who didn’t have a family doctor. I asked the nurses if there’s a clinic accepting patients
RN: No but they can put their name on the wait list.
Me: How long is that?
RN: About 4yrs.
What?

"People who are operated on by female surgeons are less likely to experience complications & need follow-up care than when males wield the scalpel, according to two major studies that suggest male surgeons have important lessons to learn." @propelresearch theguardian.com/society/2023…

Medical Anesthesiologists in Canada have been opposed to the Canadian healthcare system employing Nurse Anesthesiologists in independant practice like they do in the USA. This is one solution to this shortage that you don't mention @carlyweeks .
Canada is facing a shortage of anesthesiologists, causing more surgical delays and leading to difficult decisions over which patients should get priority treatment. My story today. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…
