The 68-year old needed emergency surgery after her appendix burst, but now she can't come home due to a lack of hospital beds. Arlene Meeks has been in a California hospital since December 17th. Her family has been trying to get her transferred back to the Lower Mainland for 2 weeks now but they haven't had any luck. Stephen Harris with the South Fraser Health Region says the issue is a shortage of ventilated intensive care unit beds, which are highly specialized. He says over the holidays, it's not surprising to see those beds filled up. Harris says as soon as a bed becomes available, Meeks will be transferred to a local hospital. Arlene's daughter Kim says her mom is 'frustrated as hell', and she just wants to come home. NDP Health Critic Adrian Dix says the issue is one that's continued to plague the Lower Mainland and he's blaming Liberal government cuts to acute care beds. "The number of acute care beds in British Columbia was reduced by 1,300 in the first mandate of the government, and some of the new facilities being opened won't be adding to that number." Dix says the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health authorities issued reports last fall indicating they are 650 acute care beds short right now. The trouble is, you right wingers only look for the bad things about any system you don't like. Why don't you find the good things, and post them as well, if you want to come off as balanced. Same with global warming! The only good thing about the overtaxed, crappy health system is that it's 'free'. So what? There is nothing good about socialized medicine. And, it is not free. It costs you money, that you conveniently don't see, and it costs lives and livelihoods which end up costing the rest of us more. Pay for what you want and need in all things.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Tell all veterans that who use the V.A. system. |

What more could you want. Remember also, that all but one of the Democrats left the Senate Global Warming hearings for the second half of the hearings. Even *they* must think it's a fake. http://www.climatecrisis.net/ -- John H |
