Until recently, neonatal care in #YEG was second-to-none, caring for some of Canada’s sickest babies. But now, just like schools, just like universities, just like the rest of healthcare, NICUs are at the point of collapse, thanks to the UCP’s contempt for highly-educated experts

@DrAndyHolt Smith doesn't give a rip if she puts the most vulnerable at risk.
@DrAndyHolt Meanwhile, the Premier and Cabinet are inviting young professionals to come work in Alberta. Just don’t bring your kids, I guess.
@DrAndyHolt How do we make this stop. Physicians need to demand a meeting with the minister and premiere and get a plan together. LaGrange does nothing and Smith goes to fundraising dinners while the province falls apart.
@DrAndyHolt @BlackpudlianCan I owe the NICU at the RAH a debt of gratitude for the staff that kept my little premie twin grandbabies alive and well 5 years ago. They were in no way stable enough to fly anywhere - obviously the minister has no clue what she is talking about.
@DrAndyHolt So when this was raised in 2016, why didn't the NDP act? What did the NDP do for 3 yrs?
@DrAndyHolt @Norlaine Conservative ideology cannot withstand science and reason, so science and reason have to go. Reality bends to their will, not the other way around.
@DrAndyHolt @DShepYEG My son spent 5 days in the NICU after he was born in the fall. This enrages me to the core of who I am as a person.
@DrAndyHolt “Death of babies is soon to follow…”-these doctors are stating that this is a crisis in black and white terms. Every parent, grandparent and parent to be should be shouting at this-and we know it is happening across all units, not just NICU.
@DrAndyHolt @micropainter There’s no possible way they would not have known this would happen. I hope something will make the public hold their feet to the fire.
