Sent via his site:<\/a><\/p>\n Honorable Mr McGuinty,<\/p>\n As I type this, my father has been in Toronto’s St Michaels emergency ward for well over 24 hours, waiting for a bed to come available in any ward that will “donate” a bed to the Gastro-Intestinal department. The GI ward only has three registered beds and has to ferret out free beds from other wards that might be able to offer them one. My father entered St Micahels yesterday (Wednesday) at 3pm to address his on-going pancreatic problem (we’ll not even begin to touch on his wait to see a surgeon) and at 12:30 am Thursday morning, he finally was able to see a GI doctor who admitted him into the hospital. <\/p>\n Well, in paperwork, at least.<\/p>\n He spent the night (and day) on a gurney in one of Ontario’s most busiest hospitals. When I saw him at 8am this morning, he didn’t look any better purely because he was exhausted. I’m writing this at 3:30pm on Thursday afternoon after receiving word that he still has no bed, which means he’s been in a hectic and loud environment with a stomach that will not let him relax unless he’s drugged up. 24 hours in an emergency ward, Mr McGuinty. That’s a long time to be listening to other people’s problems. <\/p>\n Granted you’ve been doing it for a few years now, but that’s why you get paid the big bucks, eh?<\/p>\n My question, sir, is exactly how are you going to retain my faith in the work you are doing towards reducing emergency room wait times, as this site so proudly boasts?<\/p>\n Thank you for your time.<\/p>\n
