Everyone needs to be accountable Re: “The demise of common sense in health care,” commentary, Feb. 8. I support this commentary by an ER doctor.
Is our common sense dwindling? Is there a “me first” movement that is pervading our society and takes precedence over being considerate of other people’s needs?
One option to control this behaviour is to build a separate facility next to the ER which would be staffed with GPs, hospitalists and nurses to quickly assess patients, and treat them accordingly. The emergency room is not a drop-in clinic, nor a replacement for your family doctor. It should be reserved for true emergencies, and when the public abuse this, they selfishly put others at risk.
The practice of treating addicts by feeding their habit is both counter-intuitive and very expensive. No drugs except to treat withdrawal, and then renew the person. Re-criminalization would be a prerequisite.A library card helps with lost keys Last Friday afternoon, I had the misfortune of losing my key ring while walking home from downtown. I can only assume that they fell from my pocket when I pulled my gloves out.
