JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...

...DURING THAT SIX HOUR WAIT IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM...insert alt text here
-- "Toronto Western Hospital has opened a 24-hour, 11 bed stand-alone clinic where Paramedics can drop off homeless people who are intoxicated by alcohol so they can recover and then access services. When paramedics drop a homeless patient off at the new clinic, the person is brought to a bed by a harm reduction worker who completes their intake." --
Gotta have priorities, right?
-- "Once they begin to feel better, the patients can shower, shave and grab a bite to eat. The hospital also has a program to give out prepaid cellphones to patients so staff can stay in touch with them." --
