Hundreds of people in the Victoria area have had their surgeries postponed, amid the prolonged closure of four operating rooms at two capital region hospitals.
A Vancouver Island man is speaking out about operating room closures in Victoria that have left him waiting indefinitely for a badly-needed hip replacement surgery.
“Which explains the intense pain I have when I walk, when I take the dogs across the street … it’s basically bone on bone, it’s like a raw nerve.”2:32In March, his doctor told him he’d been placed on the surgical wait list, but on Tuesday he got a call from his surgeon telling him that the closure of four Victoria-area operating rooms meant the procedure would be delayed with no timeline.“He had to tell me that, ‘Yeah, you’re still on the list, and I am sorry,'” he said.
Hammond was not alone. RebalanceMD sent letters this week to a number of patients apologizing and explaining that the delays were happening as “a direct result of surgical staffing shortages.”
