“We need a doctor’s help to renew my 82-year-old husband’s prescriptions. We will agree to any reasonable fee,” the ad reads.

An elderly British Columbia couple has taken out an ad in the Victoria Times Colonist in a last-ditch effort to find a doctor to renew a prescription, as the province deals with a family practitioner shortage.
“We need a doctor’s help to renew my 82-year-old husband’s prescriptions. We will agree to any reasonable fee,” the ad reads.

And to top it off, BC Horgan is putting out ads for doctors and nurses to work at hospitals. What’s wrong, didn’t kicking out the healthy ones help things out? Obviously, you got rid of a lot more people than you were advertising, given the crisis your entire health system is in, now. Was your entire provincial cabinet that arrogant, blind and deaf (willfully, due to $$$ or otherwise) to never make such an obvious connection; when you get rid of qualified people over a political (not medical) decision, that puts a tremendous strain on the remaining resources you have. I recall when I was sacked from a job, my only buddy there decided to quit on the same day, not liking how I was railroaded. Well, we account for 80% of the available work hours. Suddenly, there was a massive labour shortage that having the managers there couldn’t cover and it already had a bad rep with the bar next door due to what was already going on. It wasn’t long before the store was closed down. I am seeing the same thing happen here.
I was the class retard in school and I could see this be the end result, easily. All you ‘smart’ people couldn’t. Who’s the dumb one, now?
