Sun- Debbie’s Law warns surgery patients when wait-time exceeds guidelines
In simple terms, health authorities would be required to tell patients when they will not get treatment within the guidelines for their condition. It’s just a few keystrokes on a computer, and maybe a text to a cellphone, to make patients aware.
Colleen also believes that “at the very least, our health care regions should track details on waiting lists relentlessly,” including those who die while on the lists.
In Manitoba, no such data is collected. Neither the former PC government or current NDP administration have a good excuse why it hasn’t been, except to suppress public outrage.
We trusted the system to save her but it failed her, it failed us, and it’s failing too many others.”
Well, trusting the system was your first mistake.
Yes. I feel very bad for this family. But I was rather shocked at their naive trust in the system. Everybody should be questioning it, but the more — far more so — post-Covid.
Nothing will be allowed to change as long as public healthcare unions are involved. This is their turf and they will do everything it takes to protect it.
Let’s see how far 2 Tier Starmer gets with this action –

The only way universal healthcare can give itself a raise is by failing.. Its true..
Meh…wake me up when I can opt out of our bullshit public healthcare, add some dough to buy better coverage and not have to hop on a plane to go get fixed up.
CBC will do “Idiot in the street” interviews asking people if they would pay more for better healthcare and every one of them will nod “yes” and taxes will go up and nothing will change…
Oh I’m pretty sure we would get more managers to oversee the dwindling numbers of hands-on folks.
As the Supreme Court said a few years ago regarding a case in Quebec….”the promise of healthcare is not the same as the DELIVERY of healthcare”.
Canadian Wisdom.
” Service Infinitely Delayed” is not “Service Denied”.
Cause?
Well we woulda,coulda, provided the life saving services,except it was a day ending in Y,..We had spent “The Budget”,..You were not worthy.. Standard Operating Procedure..
“Not my job”…
Those Canadians who still parrot the tired propaganda,that Government can provide Healthcare, are beyond all hope.
65% of those who vote,vote socialist .
Big Daddy State Dreams,when challenged over the obvious facts of systemic corruption and failure?
They blurt out “You just want ‘American Healthcare'”..
Another blind spot of terror in the NPC mind.
For the most obvious weak point of “Government Run anything” is your average government minion.
Next is the bureaus,,has anyone seen compassion from a bureaucracy?
Standard operating procedure requires the punishment of any minion who goes above and beyond.
Excellence shall be punished.
But “We are here to help you”..
An unfinished sentence.
I needed non-emergency open-heart surgery in late August. Dr. Farivar opened up for 6.5 hours on September 4th. I feel better than I have felt in at least eight years. I was out $1500.
Do Canadians not care about this?
If wait times exceed guidelines, guess what will happen? Well, longer guidelines of course! Healthcare fixed!
I have been in the unfortunate position to see the condition of Manitoba’s healthcare system up close for the last 2 months. It’s abysmal. Think the “Rez housing” model applied to our healthcare. Nurses and aides don’t care about people as patients. Animals in shelters get more personal attention. Food in prison would be better. Obviously the cooks look at it and say “I don’t have to eat it.” People fall through the cracks WITH A CANCER DIAGNOSIS. No follow-up, no treatment program, we’ll see you in two months – maybe.
When all you’ve known is a shit system, you don’t know what it could look like.
