Just think, the left wants this kind of nonsense in our country’s health care system:

Ken Olson, a Saskatoon contractor, was on his way to a meeting Monday morning when he noticed a man in a hospital gown lying on his back “less than 10 feet” from the entrance to the ER.

“I parked and ran in through the emergency doors and said, ‘You’ve got someone in hospital clothing outside your doors unconscious,’ ” he said.

Olson said he was stunned when staff responded by phoning 911 for an ambulance. He says they told him policy prevents hospital staff from attending to patients found on the grounds.

“When something happens to an individual on our grounds, it is our policy that we do call 911,” said Patti Simonar, director of emergency and critical-care services for the Saskatoon Health Region. “And in this instance, it would seem that policy was followed.”

Ten (10) feet from the door, and they call an ambulance, simply because it’s “policy”? I normally would defend a place of business (and a hospital is, like any other place, a business) following policy, but sometimes policies are idiotic and need to be changed. This is one of those times.

Seriously, who thought this up? Some hospital administrator or some government hack? Or both? Who on earth would think this is a good idea? The man could have been bleeding to death from some serious injury, but no, they have to wait for the ambulance, despite the fact that there’s plenty of medical staff and equipment just yards away that could save his life. Idiotic.

I know I’m repeting myself, but I just can’t say it or stress it enough: this is the kind of nonsense the left wants to bring to this country. They want our health care system ran like this. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.
