JEWISH GENERAL HOSPITAL - CHAOS

Follow my reports of my recent stay at the Jewish General Hospital and see what it is like when you are sick and helpless.

The JGH is one of the best in Canada, if not in the world - excellent, caring, skilled - even self-sacrificing doctors, nurses, secretaries and exhausted, run-ragged orderlies - but incompetent, irresponsible, arrogant employees and endless failure to communicate between personnel and departments can make your experience a challenge to endure. It's your life - but those in authority might tell you what to do - at their convenience - and expect you to obey, even though you know what you need and you see what is going on there. 

THEY HAVE EARS BUT THEY DO NOT LISTEN.

"Rules" take power over patients. "Rules" do not apply to patients who come to the hospital with large groups of noisy, demanding friends and relatives, while patients there alone cry for someone to get them on and off the toilet.

The staff do not seem to be able to differentiate between mentally ill patients and those who are just trying to survive, politely, painfully patiently.

Everyone rushes around. It seems no one communicates with anyone else. You are rushed about to appointments for which there is no need at all to rush. You are told you are going home and you spend all day wondering what's going on, and then you are told you are not going home - and then - you are.

As a patient, I was drained and frustrated and finally forced out of my room by bullies.

Most everyone blames Quebec's politicians for the brutal cuts to the hospital's budget. A couple of years ago, it was reported that 2000 patients died because their treatments had to be delayed so long, they couldn't be saved.

Since anyone can fall ill and end up in a hospital in Quebec - perhaps too late to survive - voters would be wise to ask about the health of Quebec politicians and their families. How was Parizeau treated when he was a patient at the Jewish General Hospital? Was he left in wet diapers too?

You might also question the financial status of hospital administrators and their friends. As I wrote as far back as 2015 in the case of Donald Trump - FOLLOW THE MONEY.

I suggest you read these reports in chronologial order as much as possible.
