We are told the system is "coping." Govt PR teams assure us that "fluctuations" are normal. Look at these graphs and tell me where the "normal" is.
This is real time data from our 14 largest hospitals sites in AB.
The red bars represent dangerous overcrowding.

Fluttering cosmos, their petals look like fingers that beckon and wave. These ones grew on my balcony and amused me all summer long as they danced in the wind.

Some people in Lethbridge who want to recall their MLA are now worried the petition against him is actually designed to *protect* the MLA from being recalled.
Alberta's recall rules say that once a petition is launched and fails, no subsequent petitions can be launched.

Novel privatization, without any plan regarding guardrails or a roadmap, along with further fragmenting the system certainly is not helping.
ALL ABs should be very concerned.
HC Access is absolutely going in the wrong direction in AB. ABs DESERVE BETTER.

Currently in AB: 50% of ALL Emergency Care Spaces in the Edmonton and Calgary major EDs are blocked by very sick pts who cannot be admitted up to the proper floor as the hospital is too full. (= Emerg In -Pts = EIPs). STRANDED in our EDs.

I've started using a d20 to push through decision paralysis (which happens embarrassingly often). I set up a list of projects I want to do and roll to pick one, this was a result of my new system.
