Brandon ER Struggles Amid Doctor Shortage | Winnipeg News
Description
Brandon’s ER is buckling under staff shortages, with the health minister admitting chronic understaffing is causing dangerous delays — even as incentives lure more doctors and add 700 extra hours annually. Nurses say one doctor often covers two shifts, leaving patients like a mother-daughter duo stranded for hours, with some told their child might not be seen until morning. Despite efforts to bring in more providers and ease pressure through home care improvements, complaints persist. A flooded hospital closure has only worsened the strain, and officials warn this isn’t sustainable — while thanking frontline workers for enduring the crisis.
