Died in the waiting room, Vancouver ER. Patient never made it out of the overcrowded waiting room by day 2.

The New Brunswick Premier had a very swift response and took immediate action when a patient died in an ER waiting room in his province this month. He reassigned the Minister of Health, and fired a CEO.

Our Premier has made no comment on it, and "Health Minister Adrian Dix declined all week to be interviewed for this story, instead directing questions to the health authority."

"She was admitted on Saturday, July 9, for possible heart problems and put on a stretcher. There were no hospital beds available so she remained in a corner of the waiting room.
There was initially no indication that she needed to be put on a heart-monitoring machine, but in the mid-afternoon of July 11 she was found unresponsive — having never made it out of the overcrowded waiting room."

Premier Higgs’ ability to take actions and look for shortcomings is what will allow him to make better choices for his constituents. When will our Premier follow suit?
