GuelphToday received the following letter to the editor from Rick Ferraro regarding the state of Guelph's healthcare system.
Over the last week, three acquaintances have been rushed to the Guelph General Hospital for assistance for life threatening occurrences. While the attentiveness of the nurses and staff were wonderful, the accommodations were not.
None were able to be given a room and one was transferred to the COVID area due to lack of proper accommodations. As I have said before, our priorities are seriously wrong. Never mind a new library, sport centre,etc.
Should not most of our attention not be directed to looking after our sick? While the question is rhetorical, I believe our priorities are wrong.
We had two hospitals in the 1950’s now only one. Really? Our local politicians should be prioritizing efforts to rectify this very sad situation.
Until then, here is the remedy….don’t get sick!
