Time for a rant.
A while back, sometime last month, BC Children Hospital just held a fundraiser dinner event charging an atrocious $250 a person ($2,500 a table). It was pricey but nevertheless it was for a good cause.
Then yesterday night, a friend of mine carried his 6 month old daughter to the BC Children Hospital when her right eye tip started bleeding and waited for 4 hours before they got the attention of a doctor. The diagnostic is an allergy to antibiotics she took earlier which could have been more serious. This kind of disregard for human life is simply a disgrace to the socialist culture Canada is known for.
Can you imagine 4 hours, sitting in that waiting room, scared to death not knowing what is wrong with your daughter? This is just pure cruelty. Unacceptable and unforgivable. If it was my daughter, I would have left after half an hour after making a big scene cursing at the doctors and staffs.
They are a disappointment and they have lost my support forever. Though it may not be much, I will write in an official complaint for my friend. Something has to be done.

@_@ unfortunately, that's the way it is in most hospitals in Vancouver...4 hours is already less other stories I've heard of the Vancouver General Hospital. I'm sure a LOT of people have written complaints, to no avail, because there are no easy solutions to the systemic problems
But you know what...it's not like the doctors and nurses there want to disregard human lives. It's just that there is a limit to what they can do...If you truly want things to change, then yes, they need a lot more funds to expand the hospital and the staff and medical personnel...
Plus, there is also the problem of privatization of hospitals and unions that are against that...Both sides of the argument have a valid point...in any case, it's a mess...and I sure can't say I know what to do about it.
There is also a reason why people buy health insurance, not just to wait in line.
