Goodbye Holidays...Hello Gridlock
With the holiday break over the bed shortage is back at the Regional Hospital and so is "code gridlock". Patients are being treated in the halls and alcoves. Spokesperson Mark Henderson, says the hospital has been preparing for this latest surge with the health authority and says it will likely continue for the rest of the winter. Dr. Henderson believes the hospital may not see the end to the gridlock cycle for another 3 years.
