Canadian health system no longer admirable, or desirable

This should never happen but it does. The strain put on nurses, and doctors is unacceptable. People can no longer feel safe under our care and governments do not seem to care. People come to the hospital in pain expecting to receive nursing and medical care, often life-saving care, yet too often these days people die alone, frightened, waiting for that care. The media, family members, and friends first impression is that the health care professionals are merely collecting salary from a good paying job but nothing, no amount of money can make up for the frustration, the fear, and anxiety we face every day trying to care for the sick and injured in a very broken system.

Nothing will change unless health care providers speak out, and loudly. It must be the voice of individuals, not just representatives. Please, for the sake of being truly human get loud and don't shut up until governments are held responsible and make the necessary changes.
