PUBLISHED: 14/05/2020 It’s estimated more than 100 thousand medical procedures and elective surgeries have been cancelled so hospitals can focus on COVID-19. For those in need of surgical or a medical procedure, how long must they wait? When the pandemic arrived in Canada, hospitals had a singular focus, treat those infected with COVID-19. All other treatments and procedures were cancelled. In the first month of the pandemic, more than 40 percent of cancer surgeries were scrubbed. Earlier this week, a breath of hope for them came from the province of Ontario that some treatments and procedures would slowly resume in hospitals. Each one will have to submit a plan of opening to the province for approval. ———————————— GUESTS: Mike Schreiner - Leader Green Party of Ontario/MPP Guelph -https://gpo.ca/mike-schreiner-leader/ Dr.Marc Ruel - VP Canadian Cardiovascular Society & Surgeon with the Ottawa Heart Institute - https://www.ottawaheart.ca/physician-researcher-profile/ruel-marc ———————————— REFERENCES: https
