It is a huge tragedy that should never have happened. One example is a woman in Alberta who had cancer was scheduled for surgery and brought into the hospital. At the last minute she was told she could not have her surgery because there were no ICU beds available for her. She was then put on a waiting list. Then she was later told that her cancer had progressed too far and she was no longer a candidate for surgery because she is terminal now. This is the kind of thing that has happened to thousands of heart and cancer patients across Canada during the pandemic. Covid patients are given top priority and other people in need of life-saving surgeries are put on waiting list indefinitely. I believe this is a result of a uncaring public health system which operates in a very clumsy, un-compassionate manner. It decided that Covid patients were all that mattered in hospitals and basically rejected everyone else that might take up a bed in an ICU. This is a kind of Marxist ideology. What the exact reason for this policy is I don't know, but it is obviously wrong and is not providing proper life-saving health care for many Canadians. It is a brutal ideology of mass production using tunnel vision which makes no allowances. Once the pandemic emergency became widespread, all other people were just wiped off the radar. Shocking.
