Good morning Thunder Bay...well I promised a good friend with who I met and had coffee with this morning...to tell of his family's nightmare of a situation regarding his 98 year old mother`s experience at our Regional Hospital the other day as she arrived by ambulance from her home after she had taken a fall.
Well it was at 5:30 pm that she arrived in the ambulance bay at our regional hospital and there she lay in the back of the vehicle for 1 and a half hours until the staff could clear a space for her within the emergency department that was curtained off.!
After waiting for a while she was examined by a physician and then was sent for an x-ray and it was determined that she had badly broken her hip.
In conclusion: There was ``NO ROOM`` at the Inn when this 98 year old woman needed it most...the hallways were overflowing with people. So what's next will the staff be forced to start using the parking lots next here in Thunder Bay.
