More doctors across Alberta are speaking out, saying their emergency rooms are under intense strain, despite political messaging to the contrary.
On Wednesday, nearly 200 Calgary physicians published an open letter describing “collapsing” ERs and calling for Albertans to think about health care when they vote in Monday’s provincial election.
And others are raising the alarm, too.
Similar letters have been penned by physicians in other cities, including Edmonton, Red Deer and Lethbridge.

A few months ago, I disclosed that I had a bed bug infestation by my family doctor and nurse practitioner who visited…

Medical students say strict abortion laws are driving them away from pursuing careers as doctors in states where the procedure is banned.
The finding comes from a survey of third- and fourth-year medical students, conducted from August through October of last year — just after the June 2022 Supreme Court Dobbs decision that overturned Roe V. Wade, which for nearly 50 years granted the right to an abortion across the US
The reluctance to be a medical resident — young doctors who train in hospitals or clinics after graduating medical school — in states with abortion bans could further strain…
