Long Story Short:
In the 90's Ralph Klein promised Calgary 2 new hospitals. They demolished 2 of the hospitals Calgary had, then cut funding....and rezoned the old General Hospital site for downtown commercial development.
If it makes you feel any better (and it probably doesn't), even if there were beds, they could have also cancelled her surgery due to staff shortages.
Welcome to Ralph's World...or what's left of it, anyway.
The news already has dozens of stories like this phoned in every day....to the point they can't run them anymore. It really sucks that your grandma is in so much discomfort, but the staff is doing the best they can with what they've got.
