**They don't mention that many kids who got #covid (then #LongCovid) ended up at this clinic! Expect more #failures from #BCPublicHealth when they have #eugenist #BonnieHenry calling the #PublicHealthSafety shots. I'm not surprised with this news at all.**
#Pediatric unit closing, #physicians say they are overwhelmed by demand.
A memo from the #pediatricians to their non-ER physician colleagues said that the Urgent Pediatric Assessment Clinic will close on Sept. 1.
The memo advises that patients requiring urgent pediatric consultation — within 24 hours — should be sent to Victoria General’s emergency department, where they can be assessed by an ER doctor with a subsequent on-call pediatric referral as needed.
For patients needing semi-urgent pediatric consultation — within four weeks — the pediatrician on call at Victoria General can assist with the referral and triaging.
