Quebecers are patient.
They are waiting for a family doctor.
They are waiting to be able to consult a specialist.
They’re waiting for an MRI, they’re waiting for surgery.
They are waiting in the emergency room.
They are waiting for a hospital bed, they are waiting for a place in a CHSLD.
They’re waiting… for the week of four Thursdays!
Do Quebecers still have faith in Mr. Dubé?
All parties combined, we believed, ministers of Health.
We have stubborn hope, especially when it comes to our health and sometimes even our survival.
We want to believe you Mr. Dubé, but…
How are you going to reduce the expansion of the private sector if waiting times remain so high?
Especially when a delay can cause cancer to progress from stage 1 to stage 4?
“Private”, for those who can afford it, still seems to have good days ahead.
We just learned.
That it will still take “a few months” before reaching the objective of returning to the pre-pandemic level for surgeries pending for more than a year.
There would still be 160,000!
Let’s be patient…
We train surgeons, but we lack operating rooms, nurses and medical equipment.
“A few months” sometimes ends up becoming years.
In the summer of 2026, bingo!
We will have access to one health professional per citizen. Either a doctor or a nurse.
Why not give more powers to nurses and pharmacists?
This would perhaps make it possible to achieve this objective for 2026.
The population would only be better off.
Let’s be fair.
We can’t blame you for twiddling your thumbs.
You demonstrate more transparency than many of your predecessors.
We must take into account the increase in the population on the one hand, but its aging on the other.
We also need to recognize that once in the system, we receive good care.
However, in terms of accessibility… you will have to review your copy.
