However, its doctors say the real reason is an ongoing staff shortage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cYeah, COVID caused the closure of the emergency department, but the reality of it is that we had no built-in resilience of our nursing staff,\u201d Dr. Alan Drummond told CTV National News on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Drummond said that PSFDH\u2019s emergency room dropped from 50 nurses down to five, leaving the unit exceptionally thin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cSomebody needs to be held accountable for the fact that we lost 50 per cent of our nursing staff within several months, which set us up, basically, to fail,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Drummond said the catchment area for the PSFDH is about 25,000 people in a large geographic area between Smiths Falls and Peterborough, meaning many patients travel long distances to get to the emergency department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Patients needing urgent care will now have to drive 20 kilometres from Perth to Smiths Falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">A LONG, &#8216;LONG WEEKEND&#8217; FOR EMERGENCY ROOMS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s fair for the people in this community,&#8221; local resident John Hastings told CTV News on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The Town of Clinton in Ontario was <a href=\"https:\/\/london.ctvnews.ca\/clinton-ont-emergency-room-closed-for-entire-canada-day-long-weekend-1.5967020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">without an emergency room for the entire Canada Day long weekend<\/a>, as the Clinton Public Hospital\u2019s emergency room announced a shutdown from July 1 to 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">This marked the longest 24-hour closure of the Clinton Public Hospital\u2019s emergency room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Physician and nurse shortages are to blame, according to Deborah Wiseman, the chief nursing executive with the Huron-Perth Health Alliance, who anticipates more service disruptions this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cNot just this weekend, but what you\u2019ll see is more to come. I\u2019m going to say for the next six months to several years, with our human health care shortages, both in the nursing and physician areas. We are really struggling to maintain services,\u201d Wiseman told CTV National News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Wiseman said they are investigating everything to try to resolve the health-care worker shortage and keep their emergency rooms open, including using paramedics in emergency rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Other provinces are experiencing similar issues. Six emergency departments in Quebec will be partially shuttered this summer owing to a staffing shortfall, the provincial government announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/atlantic.ctvnews.ca\/staffing-shortages-hospital-closures-to-blame-for-long-wait-times-at-maritime-emergency-departments-1.5971887\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nova Scotia Health says people should expect long wait times<\/a> in all four health zones because of high demand during the long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cUnfortunately, we&#8217;re currently experiencing what we call &#8216;bed block,&#8217; where we have a large number of admitted patients and nowhere to send them,\u201d Dr. Margaret Fraser, a physician at Cape Breton Regional Hospital in Sydney, N.S. told CTV National News on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Bonnie Nunn, a resident from Trehern, Manitoba, told CTV National News on Saturday that her daughter recently needed emergency treatment and had to be taken to Portage la Prairie, about 45 minutes away, because the Trehern emergency department was closed due to a lack of staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">&#8220;I&#8217;m really angry, angry at everything. I don&#8217;t think enough thought went into this,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cI&#8217;m not angry at nurses. They need time off too.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">?WHAT IS CAUSING THE STAFF SHORAGES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Dr. Katharine Smart, president of the Canadian Medical Association, told CTV News Atlantic in May that the rate of physician and nurse <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantic.ctvnews.ca\/it-s-non-stop-medical-association-says-health-care-worker-burnout-has-doubled-since-pandemic-1.5905898\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">burnout is double what it was pre-pandemic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cOur health-care system is at a level of crisis we&#8217;ve never really seen, and the health workers are in a state of crisis we&#8217;ve never seen,\u201d said Smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">A June <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctvnews.ca\/health\/nurses-more-likely-to-quit-in-next-3-years-health-worker-survey-finds-1.5932193\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">survey released by Statistics Canada<\/a> showed that 95 per cent of health workers feel that the pandemic has impacted their mental health and has added stress to their work-life balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">During the pandemic, health workers have faced extended work hours, decreased vacation time, and changes in the method of delivering care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">In the fourth wave of the pandemic between September to November of 2021\u2014the period in which the survey was conducted\u2014many health workers were looking to leave or quit due to job stress or concerns around their mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cHow do we retain workers? Probably a raise,\u201d Halifax-based ICU nurse, Elinor Kelly told CTV News Atlantic in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cProbably a decent one. I think that&#8217;s going to have to help. Especially for critical care nurses because critical care, we have a lot of people that we train and recruit, but after a year or so they can go work privately at triple the amount of money I\u2019m making after 27 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Dr. Paul Saba, a family physician and president of the Council of Physicians at H\u00f4pital de Lachine in Montreal, said he wants the government to make substantial changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cThe health-care system has to be improved. And it can\u2019t just be a short-term electoral promise \u2026 for the next few years, but long-term,\u201d he told CTV National News on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em>With files from Deena Zaidi and CTV News Atlantic<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">RELATED IMAGES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ctvnews.ca\/content\/dam\/ctvnews\/en\/images\/2021\/7\/19\/emergency-rooms-are-overcrowded-1-5515272-1627411287698.jpg\" alt=\"Emergency rooms across Quebec are overcrowded as staff take advantage of the opportunity to take much need vacations.\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Emergency rooms across Quebec are overcrowded as staff take advantage of the opportunity to take much need vacations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hospitals overwhelmed by the pandemic\u2019s onslaught are still facing a number of challenges, causing unprecedented wait times in emergency rooms across the country.
