This is already happening, sort of. When ER rooms are too busy, they refuse intake from ambulances. Meaning the patient stays in the ambulance or in the wait room but under the supervision of the ambulance paramedics, not the hospital... this of course results is even longer wait times, subpar care, and fewer ambulances to deal with emergencies out there Keep voting Doug Ford Ontario... he'll get to this as soon as the bicycle lanes are gone, that's an obvious priority permalink fedilink source parent
