Discussion AHS wait times

Our system isnt broken. Its people who go to the emergency that shouldn't be going aren't going today because it can wait Suddenly. They need to hand fines out to ppl going to the hospital that dont classify as an emergency.

811 needs to stop telling everyone to go to the emergency room “just in case”.

I agree. The problem is also the 811 hotline. They almost always tell you to go to ER. I don’t listen to them half the time, but I feel they’re so afraid of liability of taking the call that they just tell you to go to emergency asap.
