This is what Danielle Smith and the UCP have done to the once gold standard healthcare system in the province of Alberta: there is no equipment in this space, which is big enough for a bed against a wall and maybe 18 inches to one side. No nurse call button—he has an office bell on the table.

My dad has had heart events since he was admitted. Now, if he feels angina, he has to ding a tiny bell and hope a nurse outside the ward hears him. “Or you can shout as loud as you can,” they told him.
