No arms length. Ministerial order from @JasonCoppingAB The order and paper work is public Here’s the thing: the AHS staff followed the order from their boss AND STILL got fired by the Premier. No one is safe in this HC SYSTEM anymore. No admin can speak truth to power.

Albertans new healthcare plan, go to Saskatchewan. This is a disgrace, and shouldn’t be happening to such a reliably conservative riding. It’s almost as if this government isn’t Conservative at all.

Alberta, we're "FUCKED" this fall season and Canada's public healthcare system is in serious trouble!! The good news is that once patients get into the system, the care provided by our doctors, nurses and healthcare teams is among the best in the world, and nobody needs a Visa or Mastercard at the bedside. The problem is getting timely access to that care. Emergency departments are overcrowded because hospitals are full and we do not have enough staffed beds in ur country, especially Alberta. In addition, far too many patients who no longer need acute hospital care are waiting for rehabilitation, home care, assisted living or continuing care. That blocks patient FLOW throughout the system. As someone who considers himself a Progressive Conservative and has spent more than 35 years working in emergency medicine, I don't support the current direction of acute healthcare reform in Alberta. This isn't about public versus private. It's about leadership, operational expertise and getting the fundamentals right. We need experienced healthcare leaders who understand how hospitals actually function and who are accountable for improving patient flow, safety and outcomes. Healthcare isn't ideological. It's operational. P.S. Get Vaccinated and stay home if you are sick My prediction this fall season: "It will be a "shit show" and the worst ER & Health system Crises in our lifetime...unless @ABDanielleSmith & @FreeAlbertaRob actually listen to the front line staff (for their own political hides)... I would not count on Danielle to fix anything...she was a friend of mine and I have lost complete confident in her on healthcare... we are all on our own. Someone, please tell me I am wrong... @ABDanielleSmith @nenshi @RealTalkRJ @cspotweet @JMedding @PfParks @NightShiftMD @TheSGEM @raghu_venugopal @JMeddings @BradenMannsYYC @FreeAlbertaRob @Albertadoctors @DavidStaplesYEG @TheBreakdownAB @UCPCaucus @Alberta_UCP @albertaNDP

We train many of the worlds best MD's. We turn away thousands of very qualified applicants every year. Because government prevents us from taking them. Because they don't want more MD's. Does that make sense?
