What's behind waits and closures at B.C. #EmergencyRooms? | CTV News https://bc.ctvnews.ca/doctors-speak-up-what-s-behind-waits-and-closures-at-b-c-emergency-departments-1.6969577

In a nutshell. Working ER is not just about working in ER

“It’s not worth it,” said several #physicians when asked about the incentives at smaller hospitals, saying they don’t need to put up with the stress and anxiety of working in challenging conditions when larger, well-resourced facilities are also looking for staff.”

“Hospitals in B.C.'s smaller centres are familiar with such closures. In March, Prince Rupert Regional Hospital closed its emergency room for eight hours. In September 2023, South Okanagan General Hospital was closed for 24 hours over the Labour Day weekend and again that Monday.

In 2022, #EmergencyRooms at 13 rural B.C. hospitals — including South Okanagan, Lillooet and Nicola Valley hospitals, were closed for approximately four months, combined.”

Zero mention of the Fort St John closures 😖
