Global National: July 17, 2022 | Canadian emergency rooms in crisis as doctors, nurses on the brink

Spread The Viralist



On tonight’s episode of Global National: The situation in Canada’s emergency rooms has grown critical, with patients overwhelming understaffed hospitals and the pandemic pushing facilities to the brink, burning out doctors and nurses. Those who stayed behind are now pleading for action. Abigail Bimman looks at the growing challenges, how patients are suffering, and how there have been deadly consequences.

U.S. health officials are battling rising concerns and case counts on two fronts. Monkeypox is spreading rapidly across most states, while hospitals are filling up once again thanks to a new COVID variant. Jennifer Johnson reports from Washington.

In southern Europe, out-of-control wildfires are forcing thousands of people from their homes. People living in Spain, Portugal, and France are also battling record-breaking heat, which is linked to more than 1,000 deaths. Mike Armstrong looks at what else firefighters are up against.

Plus, in recent years, more groups have been risking their lives to save dogs that have been left homeless after wars and natural disasters. But Canada is about to ban canines from certain countries. Beginning in September, rescue dogs from over a hundred countries considered high-risk for rabies will no longer be allowed to enter Canada, which has left charitable groups chasing their tails to find a solution. Mike Drolet explains.

Finally, a two-spirit Indigenous woman from the Tsuu T’ina nation in Alberta is making a name for herself in the golf world. Irene Crowchild is a two-time national long drive champion — and she’s going for her third title. An intergenerational survivor of Canada’s residential school system and a role model, Crowchild hopes that her success will drive reconciliation forward. Heather Yourex-West takes a look.

  1. As Healthcare workers.. all the perks and bonuses should be given.. sign on bonuses for all.. and gas breaks for thoes traveling.. also paid uniforms etc.. the red carpet should be rolled out.. !! Top dollar per hour and paid breaks and meals provided.. essential workers deserve to be treated like gold!! Also push for more nurse practitioners and immigrants with experiences of being doctors in their country should have a easier time to bridge to practice in canada.. we need to think outside the box.. we need to utilize thoes with skills and expertise who never get to work. For years they have been saying.. wait until the baby boomers retire .. well it's here and our Healthcare system can't handle the amount of people who need medical attention with their comorbitites…

  2. About global warming, I guess we can use the same technology that Jame's telescope is, to place it into L1 Sun-Earth orbit. This can create an artificial solar eclipse to reduce the sunlight shining on Earth, which means reducing the temperature on earth directly from the heat source with human control factor.

  3. This is what it's like when you have an NDP government, and the people in Vancouver only have themselves to blame, your votes put them in power

  4. In fact, JT & his government should be held responsible for Canada's entire problem.

    Indeed, Canadian cities are already overcrowded, congested, polluted, and crime-ridden without any regulation, management, and proper governance.

    While many Canadians struggle without proper housing, healthcare, transportation, education, jobs, income, and decent life…., the JT government has opened its doors to unlimited foreigners and strangers from corrupt and overpopulated countries.

    JT & his government are now out of control and trying to hide the real facts.

  5. Remember when you could grab a timmies and timbits while in your gurney at Royal Columbian, that should have been been a red flag then.

  6. Youtube – "The Vaccine Pitch Meeting" – put out by InfoWars yesterday – it is something which all should watch, as this is truth – and it 100% based

  7. Canada simply doesn't have the GDP or infrastructure dollars required to adequately service 38 million citizens under the public healthcare system in its current form, and no one in Trudeau's red and orange political coalition gang wants to take on the responsibility of fixing it.
    Ergo, major changes and overhauls are needed across the board, and it's only a matter of time before private healthcare service models are introduced in Canada.

    Watch and learn.
    Next.

  8. Very few doctors are going into family practice. My 68 yr old doctor can't sell his practice because of this. ERs are full because no one can find a doctor.

  9. This is what our provincial leaders all got together to discuss. And our Lovely coward of a PM won’t even come to a table and speak with them. Our federal government does not care about the people. They have their rules to maintain from the Double You. E.F and U-nighted-nations.

  10. The hospital system has been spiraling down for 20 years and now with so many people getting sick from these shots it’s going to collapse

  11. Get rid of mandates and the doctors will come back. Trudeau needs to be stopped ✋. He is destroying this country. I have been sick for months now ,can't get to a specialist. It's bad ,really bad 👎 health care is the worst that ever been in Canada. Fix it Now !!!! Where is the tax payers money going ?? Global you need to do the right thing. Expose Trudeau.

  12. Please suffer in silence , no whining, no complains absolutely, just give big smiles and hugs and you will be granted…. more sufferings.

  13. So treat EMERGENCIES and send the people with hang-nails home!! Too many people are treating the ER like a doctors office ow walk-in clinic – the systm needs to kick them out of the ER!

  14. People need to stop showing up at ER with things that are not an Emergency. The panic they created over Covid has created a situation where people show up with cold symptoms that can be managed at home.

    People treat staff so rudely. Something is wrong with society where you go to work and if you are not verbally abused it's a good day.

    I will be retiring from healthcare and I will be looking for part time work at some point and it will not be in healthcare. I did not sign up for abuse I would not accept in my personal life but have to take on a daily basis in my workplace.

  15. What about the innocent Russian people .Or is it ok for them to suffer? I'm not sure how this works…I thought the saying is ALL CHILDREN MATTER …NO???

  16. It's all a ploy to get more money. And push for privatization. We are the victims being locked between labour unions who only see it their way, and sleezy politicians. Free universal health care just does not work.

  17. I don't believe it……the WEF just wants us to take their shots, return lockdown to destroy small business (communists do not want capitalism). My neighbor is a mortician, but changed jobs from preparing bodies to the barbecue aspect of the job . Talked to him 2 weeks ago, and he said nothing unusual, and most for cremation at his facility are younger druggies (Niagara Region). In mid 60's we had hepatitis pandemic, and in the 50's polio, and never any lockdown or forced vaccination. My friends brother acquired polio, and my father and 2 of my friends ended up with hepatitis….yet today no one I know has had Covid. I was a believer, but now consider most of the data as fake to suit the needs of the WEF.

  18. We lived in canada all our life and still can't get a permanent teaching job. Why would people that just arrived from another country deserve a teaching job before someone that's lived here their whole lift.

    What the hell is Wong with people

  19. Our Oregon healthcare system fired staff who refused the jab, then REHIRED THEM THRU HEALTHCARE STAFFING CORPORATION FOR LESS PAY, NO BENEFITS STILL N O T JABBED!!!
