The Hospital

Douche bags are everywhere these days, and the Canadian health care system is no exception I guess. My mom has been in the hospital twice in the last month, and both times she came home with stories of a stay that was less than adequate. Both times she went into the emergency room and was kept for 3 days for observation. Both times she had to remain in a bed in the emergency room where she couldn't sleep because of the constant screaming of accident victims and their grieving families. The second time, she was told that they didn't have enough room and they would have to put her on a gurney in the hall. only when she broke down into tears did they decide to let my 65 year old mother keep her bed in her multiple person ER room. We pay so much tax in this country, and for what? My mother cant event get admitted to the proper section of the hospital. She had to spend six days in the emergency room witnessing things a regular person just doesn't need to see. I know I'm not saying anything we don't already know, but our health care system is bullshit. Better than many other countries, but still bullshit.
