FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: MAN DIES IN FREDERICTON ER, SHOULD THERE BE AN OVERHAUL OF THE HORIZON SYSTEM ?!

A WITNESS THOUGHT A MAN IN A WHEEL CHAIR WAS SLEEPING. THE WITNESS TOLD NEWS THAT HE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR QUITE A WHILE. THE WITNESS THEN REALIZED AFTER A WHILE THAT THE MAN IN A WHEEL CHAIR WHO HAD BEEN GROANING IN SEVERE PAIN WHEN HE WAS ADMITTED TO THE ER WAS INDEED DEAD! WHERE WAS THE ER NURSES AND WHY DID THE TRIAGE NURSE THINK IT WASN'T NECCESARY TO HAVE HIM IN THE URGENT CARE AREA OF THE ER RIGHT AWAY. SINCE HE DIED , HE MUST'VE BEEN IN SEVERE SHAPE TO BEGIN WITH. I THINK THAT REPORTS IN THE NEWS THAT CALL FOR AN OVERHAUL OF THE NEW BRUNSWICK HEALTH SYSTEM IS LONG OVERDUE AND THE IS THE CATALYST, HAVING A MAN DIE WHILE WAITING MANY HOURS FOR A DR. THE WAIT TIMES ARE RIDICULOUS, SOMETIMES ALMOST 24 HRS. SOME ERs CLOSING AT NIGHT IN SOME AREAS! URGENT CARE NEEDS AN OVERHAUL. I PERSONALLY DON'T THINK THAT THE TRIAGE SYSTEM OF SEEING PATIENTS WORKS EITHER. IN THIS CASE IT FAILED MISERABLY! TIME TO ACT IS NOW AND I HOPE THE GOVERNMENT LOOKS INTO THIS AND THERE IS AN OVERHAUL.....ITS LONG OVERDUE!
