[ Your Partner m Real Estate Services Worldwnde Cut costs, the decision makers say. We must cut costs. fBut these are not, sad to say, the people making the decisions any- more. These are not the people who make the arbitrary decisions like the illogical one to chop off operating time. They have the unenviable job of bringing bad news to patients like my daughter who must wait an unnecessary length of time for a simple operation. Let me say those on the front lines â€" from our own wonderful family physician, to the surgeon frustrated by his operating time cut- back, to the nurses on our pre-op tour, and everyone else who has a modicum of common sense and knowledge about healthcare these days â€" all of these people have been tet‘n‘fic. And I am enraged about the whole thing. She has been on antibiotics for the better part of two months, has a chronic sore throat and stomach ache, headaches, and all the rest. Basically, she is not well. : It’s absolutely insane. Kate now will start school in September, only to be pulled on Sept. 12th to have the 45 minute day surgery she could have had the month before. And eyen though I tell myself repeatedly that this is no big deal, that a couple of months wait is nothing, it still reinkles. It just seems so unneces- sary. . he very idea of cutbacks in 1 hospitals is bad enough, but to do it through the operating room is ludicrous. And yet here in Oakville, my seven- year-old daughter, Kate has been waiting for a tonsillectomy at OTMH because some operating rpoms have been closed due to hos- pital cutbacks For the month of August, our local surgeon has not been able to get near the operating rooms at OTMH for more than one day a week. The man only operates two days a week as it is. This means even the urgent cases like Kate have to wait There isn’t any operating time to be bad And other special- ists are in the same predicament.

Well, you try telling your own seven-year-old kid who gets quieter every day about cutting costs. You try sitting on the side of her bed every night while she tells you, worriedly, about what it will be like in the hospital about cutting costs. And then get up with her every night and feed her more Tylenol for her sore throat and stomach ache, PUD 3. To end your call press 2. When_pron]pted enter the 1.
