I agree with my colleague Dr. Drummond,
Hallway care is indeed “government sanctioned torture of the elderly, the frail and the vulnerable”…
And in AB the UCP plan has simply been MORE hallway care, refusing to build more hospital capacity.

I testified before Judge Wyant voluntarily… while our Premier and Minister(s) of health couldn’t be bothered.
I believe the man wanted to try to get to some semblance of truth…
But he openly admitted and stated in his report he was NOT empowered to do so.
