To the editor:
Good morning, sir, I found your contact info on baytoday.ca and wanted to reach out to someone in the media about this.
I took my wife to the North Bay ER at 4 p.m. yesterday afternoon with a cardiac event. She has a diagnosed cardiac Issue.
Aside from a few brief checks on her vitals, we were there 12 hours before seeing an actual doctor.
This isn’t a Canadian Health care Issue, it’s a North Bay Issue when people run to Sturgeon Falls or Sudbury for care.
This was the sign in the ER waiting area, and many people after 8-10 hours left in despair without attention, some heading to Sturgeon Falls.
An Indian Immigrant couple with flu symptoms said that it was far better in their third-world country of India. They left without attention after 8 hours.
Sincerely
Name withheld on request.
