I've had to deal with health care issues for an oldster lately and it is just brutal.

The medical staff has been excellent, the infrastructure just isn't there. I groused a bit about the situation to a doctor not so long ago and he said "you are right, we've been asking for that (a seniors facility on the south side of town) for 10 years and we don't get anywhere. It is a crime that in this province with all this wealth bla bla bla...". They also mentioned the phenomenal waste in "administration".

I enjoyed a 12 hour wait in the ER in April and I happened to mention how long we'd been there to a nurse and she said had a clearly standard (and believable) answer: "we don't have enough room".

To make a short story long, the staff does all they can and they do it well, but they are underfunded. Or at least, the funds don't get to where they would do the most good.
