It should be noted that the burnout this person is talking about is due to conservative governments cutting funding to health care, resulting in less healthcare workers to spread the hours around.
And the hospitals that do have long wait times is also due to conservative government cutting.
If you're rural this is pretty noticeable too. We have a 5-wing hospital where I live, but only the staffing for 2 wings and those wings are quiet and have this weird frozen in time vibe going. Everyone gets sent to the city instead.
It should be noted that burnout is happening in all provinces, not just those with conservative governments.
