'As bad as we’ve seen it in 25 years': AMA president sounds alarm as Alberta hospital wait times rise
(edmontonjournal.com)
Lookin' good! 
Emergency waiting room populations have ballooned across the province, and hospitals are way past capacity in Edmonton, according to the head of the Alberta Medical Association.
“It’s as bad as we’ve seen it in 25 years, that’s how bad it is right now,” president Dr. Paul Parks said Monday. “We’ve never had that many in the Edmonton zone. We are literally activating the AHS disaster plan … we’re trying to get patients to next available beds.”
Last Monday, in the Edmonton zone, Parks said there were 202 admitted very-sick patients with no hospital beds to go to, so they were stuck in emergency.
“We’ve never had that many in the Edmonton zone,” Parks said.
