Regarding The Closings of Mental Hospitals
I am 77 years of age, born in Canada. I have noticed in my lifetime that there has been a tendency to give Mentally Troubled people a bag of pills and enough money for rent in a dive. When they get rid of enough patients, the talk arises that The Hospital should be closed. This to me, is a sign of a degenerate society ,not worthy of belonging to what is called a Human Race.
I’m wondering if there is any thought given to what happens to the people in need of psychiatric help once the beds are closed in these hospitals! These people in need of help are left to suffer, lose their jobs, become sicker and possibly hurt or kill people! If we want to protect ourselves and our families, we need to have a stronger health care system, and not pretend like the problem dosen’t exist. Maybe our congress should spend a month or so hanging out in the streets, or for that matter in the hospitals to determine if the beds are really needed!
Please keep Alberta Hospital open. It is a necessary and important institution. Thank you, Jim and Maureen Purves Morinville
The recent Alberta Health Services moves have the goal to bring our health care system into a private one – they nominated a lot more lawyers and business people than doctors at important positions in order to slowly move our entire health system to be private – why are we letting them get away with this..? A person such as Liepert should have never been given the job of Health Minister in the first place – he doesn’t care much of anything except his own agenda.
Why are we always following US policies? Is it not obvious by now that the US is disintegrating..!? American citizens are envious of us because we leave in a better country. I am embarrassed of my government – we need leadership and Stelmach is not a leader.
The PC has been way too comfortable the last 40 years or so – no wonder they don’t listen to Albertans – with 90% of the seats why they would…
What does that say about us as a society when we neglect the most vulnerable people in it? When future generations look back, what legacy do you want to leave. That we cared for people who needed it the most or that we let them blow in the wind. Keep Alberta Hospital open. If our people didn’t need special care, they wouldn’t be there.
