You hope there is an ambulance nearby that can help but likely hood of that is slim as well, as they are understaffed by hundreds of paramedics, or…you die. Our regional hospital ER wait time right now is between 5 and 7 1/2 hours on Tuesday, at lunch time. That’s an hour away. Weekends you just don’t go. Family docs are non-existent so many have to ER just for a scrip.

So, what do you do if, you have an amputation or there’s a car accident? Jesus, I can’t even believe things are this bad :(
