Woman dies after 11-hour wait to see a doctor in New Brunswick emergency room

Marianne Porter spent some of the final hours of her life hunched over and moaning in pain as she waited to be seen by an emergency room doctor at Moncton Hospital.
Porter waited for 11 hours before she was eventually seen.
It's a period of time that Porter's sister, Donna Bordage, believes contributed to her death only hours later.
"She was having a hard time breathing, she was visibly uncomfortable, she couldn't stand up, she couldn't eat," Bordage told Global News on Thursday.
(And we all know that doctors will NOT permit pain medication until they have actually diagnosed what is wrong with you- the woman was left in mortal pain!!!!)
Head of Canada’s busiest ER says solution to ‘hallway medicine’ isn’t just more beds
Bordage says Porter went to the hospital on Saturday morning for what she believed was a hernia.
Porter's vitals were normal, but she was left in the waiting room in severe pain, waiting for hours before she was finally seen.
"They needed to do bloodwork to find out that she had, that she was in acute kidney failure," Bordage said.
Doctors worked on her sister overnight, but her kidneys eventually shut down and she died just after 9 a.m. on Sunday.
Porter was only 58. She had three children.
Overcrowded ER's an issue
Although Dr. Serge Melanson couldn't speak to the specific incident of Porter's death, the president of the New Brunswick Medical Society said that at times, half of the ER beds in the Moncton Hospital are taken up by people who are admitted to the hospital but can't be transferred to a unit or another ward due to overcrowding.
(Taking a blood sample can be done pretty much anywhere and has NOTHING to do with the number of beds!!!!!!!!!)
"I think that is a clear example of demonstrating that there is a real human cost to the reality that we are living," said Melanson, who works in the ER at Moncton Hospital.
"As much as we may look at the data in terms of numbers, in terms of wait times and percentages of hours, for example, at the end of the day, it is our patients and the community at large that we are failing by not meeting their needs in a more timely fashion."
(No kidding! The number of ugly stories about people and babies dying in New Brunswick in the lat year or two clearly indicates it is NOT a place where one would chose to get sick and then expect timely care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Melanson says the Moncton Hospital's ER isn't meeting any of its wait time targets and it's begun taking a toll on both patients and staff.
"As a practicing ER doctor, I have a lot of regret when I see a patient who's waited eight hours to see me," he said.
New Brunswick Tory government budget offers surplus, debt reduction
(All of our govts face the same harsh choice between paying for health care or offering up gravy to civil service union Hogs! Those govts that do not offer up gravy to Hogs can expect that the Hogs will relentlessly attack and smear the govt with Fake News!! Stephen Harper was our leader who most strongly resisted the demands of the Hog gravy train and as a result he is the most LIED ABOUT politician in Cdn history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The problem of overcrowding is a challenge in New Brunswick, and something that doctors say needs to be fixed.
One of the suggestions is for more patients to look at other health care options online. It's believed it could reduce wait times and deter non-emergency health issues from ending up at the ER, taking up valuable space for those who need it.
(Online health care? WTF? The dead woman NEEDED a blood test- and that CANNOT be done online! The baby that died last year of complications from a lung infection NEEDED to be hospitalized and offered oxygen and antibiotics to clear airways and the kid got turned away repeatedly- FOR LACK OF ROOM!!!!)
(Repeated parental complaints prompted the doctor to grudgingly make yet another appointment for the kid- who DIED a few hours short of that appointment that MIGHT have convinced the doctor the kid was sick enough to actually be admitted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(In another case a cpuple of years back a second baby nearly died under exactly the same circumstances! Happily- in this case Mom was much more aggressive and managed to get the kid aid at the very last moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Bordage says she believes hospital officials did everything they could, but she believes that overcrowding was a contributing factor in her sister's death.
"I don't think that anybody, under any circumstances, especially as sick as you are, should have to sit in a room for 11 hours before you can see a doctor," she said.
(NO KIDDING!! For many people- the idea of going to a hospital emergency room is a DAUNTING task! For the seriously ill person- just getting from taxi drop off point to the registration desk is often agonizing!)
(Then there is the endless wait in the holding area while papers are shuffled!)
(Then MORE painful walking to get X-rays! Or get blood work! Or get ultrasound! Of course if you are sick enough they will put you in a wheel chair to move you about but of course if you are doubled over in agony to begin with, the simple shifting from waiting room chair to wheel chair and back again after each visit to a department test area is agonizing!)
(In this modern age VERY FEW people go to an emergency room UNLESS it is a REAL EMERGENCY!! And LIE-beral efforts to ration health care and also to try to impose TWO TIER health care on us is making things ever WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
