They had a massive infrastructure budget to spend, but staffing budgets for AHS meant that building too many beds would have poor optics as they wouldn't be staffed and in use. Hopefully they designed these buildings to facilitate renovations that can claw back some of the less useful space.
Oh they definitely did. Absolutely did. They built these things to be expanded and manipulated to the cows come home. And that’s great. But it doesn’t mean that it’s happened. Look at the plot of land both hospitals are on. Clearly expansion was planned. But have they happened yet? No. Why not?

They’re late.

We already need a new full hospital. Fully staffed. We are literally a full hospital, fully staffed, short, for Calgary. It’s insane! When’s the next built, 2030?! Is anything even in the works???

And yeah, sorry Ozy, the doc / NP sitch is straight up ####ed. Amongst other health care issues. What- you’re debating this?!? Why?! How?? Your anecdote vs mine??? Nah.

Also, like, I know I am not wrong about this, so… ???????????
