The Alberta Health Services boss is defending emergency room care.
Acting head Dr. Chris Eagle says despite recent criticism of how long ER patients have to wait before seeing a doctor, the majority of patients he’s heard from have no complaints.
Eagle tells The Calgary Sun he spent the weekend visiting Calgary emergency rooms and saw no sign of the health care crisis he sees in media reports.
He says the province’s health care system is solid and there’s no sign of anything catastrophic.
