The last time all of the operating rooms at Victoria’s two main hospitals were open was September 2022
A Sooke man waiting for hip surgery says he has been told the wait will likely be years rather than months due to the closure of four operating rooms at Victoria’s two main hospitals.
Island Health says an aggressive nationwide recruitment campaign is underway, along with training programs. Island Health said in a statement it is committed to addressing surgical staffing shortages and plans to return to the full utilization of all operating rooms “as soon as we are able to.” Hammond, who is six foot four, said he walks with a limp “like a young Frankenstein” and finds it hard to get off the couch — most, if not all, of the cartilage is missing from one of his hips, causing bone to rub on bone.
Hammond said Island Health and the Health Ministry are underplaying the impact of having four ORs closed in Victoria. While ORs and ERs are seeing temporary closures, the health authority and Health Ministry say statistics show operating-room hours and surgical volumes are actually up.
