Now that we are beyond the pandemic stage, I think I see some positives starting to happen in our health care system.
1. Access to data. Through technology, my bloodwork and test results have been available within a day or two.
2. Finding a new doctor. My GP moved on to another job, and I managed to find a new doctor, much closer to where I live, within a very short period of time.
3. Collaborative teamwork. My experience, and others who I have corresponded with, suggests that we have the best Cardiac Unit at the Foothills Hospital in all of Canada.
4. Wait times. My son was in and out of emergency in 3 hours the other day, and raves about the treatment he received.
I get the feeling that, in spite of all the negative criticism, much of it related to political bias, we are beginning to see some light after the dark days of the pandemic.
