Our health care system may needing intensive care right now, but the prognosis isn’t as dire according to the people in the system. Doctors Nova Scotia President Dr. Leisha Hawker says it’s good to see the province making it a priority and making changes. Although some of the recent announcements by government for triaging emergency room patients has her concerned. She says the biggest issues throughout health care are human resource issues. We need more people and we need more primary care providers to ease the wait times in emergency departments. But Dr. Hawker is still optimistic and wants people to go for care when they need it. She also weighs in on the deaths of two women over the holidays and why that unfortunate outcome was predictable.
