New York Times: The patient's condition is urgent but seeking medical treatment without the door to the emergency room to close the disaster mode

China Well -off. On September 15th, one night in Lao Ma's March, a hospital in the small town in the northwestern town of Ontario Province took severe measures to close the emergency department. The road signs with the "H" symbol were covered, and the driver was guided to the hospital to the hospital along the 60 -mile route, and it was more than two hours before the next hospital.

A large number of Canadian hospital emergency rooms were forced to close

The New York Times NT reported that Sue Lebeau, CEO of the Red Lake Margaret Kocumi Memorial Hospital, took pictures of the hospital's road signs. "When I saw it, it moved me to tears," she said.

This is the first time Ontario has closed the emergency room by Ontario since 2006, which marks the increasingly serious crisis, not only in a province, but also in Canada. Since then, dozens of emergency rooms across the country have been forced to close, usually closed for one night, but sometimes closed for a weekend because they do not have enough staff.

Nurse shortages -due to unsafe working conditions, dissatisfaction with wages, and burnout of the big popularity, they were forced to leave the industry and pushed Canadian hospitals to the edge of the cliff.
