'This is my life we're talking about,' says Ontario woman whose cancer surgery's been delayed by Omicron

I worked in Oncology. This problem is NOT new! We had to postpone many of our patients surgeries pre Covid due to lack of OR rooms,scheduling, beds etc. Patients would get bumped constantly. Where the hell have Canadians been all this time to not realize how crap our system is?

Why do anti vaxxers in hospital WITH Covid get triaged before a cancer patient? It’s wrong. This needs to be addressed now @celliottability @fordnation

Omicron didn’t cancel her surgery. The Ministry of Health and the hospital did. There was a choice someone made.

I don’t get the logic. So a tax on the unvaccinated/​mandatory vaccination/​denying healthcare to unvaccinated are unconstitutional but delaying critical surgery knowing full well that it may kill these cancer patients is constitutional.

You can't delay Cancer treatment. You might as well sign the death certificate if you do so. Sorry to sound harsh, but it's true. This is unacceptable. @fordnation @celliottability This woman needs treatment now.

This is very sad With the publicity, this woman will probably manage to get surgery But what about the many who will not?

This is so wrong. I implore this province to open up surgeries now and then fix our broken system #DougFord #Appalling

I guess they needed capacity just in case more of these guys were admitted? https://t.co/​5iAJp9A5Ym

Ford and the Health Minister must to held to account. What kind of people have our leaders turned into? Let the virus run its course. Treat the people needing surgery with respect. You have had 2 yrs to increase capacity. Do what's right for all the people.
