'We implore you to take immediate action … and if you cannot do this the only responsible recourse is to place the Surrey Memorial Hospital ER on diversion.'
VANCOUVER — A series of letters from doctors raising the alarm about the management of patient care at a Metro Vancouver hospital is placing British Columbia's largest health authority under scrutiny.
Surrey Memorial's emergency doctors published their own complaint letter on May 15, followed two weeks later by a letter from 36 women's health physicians at the same hospital outlining a "critical scarcity of resources" that contributed to the death of a newborn baby. "There's nothing in letter that is surprising to us," Storness-Bliss said. "We all know this. But I think the public doesn't know, and that was the purpose of letter."
"If things aren't fixed, it's only a matter of time before this happens again," Storness-Bliss said, referring to the death of a newborn baby that she partially attributed to a lack of resources. "We've had countless close calls."
