"Profound crisis": Survey shows majority of Ontario doctors struggling with ER overcrowding

A new survey of Ontario’s emergency room physicians suggests the majority are struggling with severe overcrowding, hurting the ability of some to see patients as quickly as they should.

A study released by the Ontario Medical Association on Monday polled ER doctors across the province to build a snapshot of the struggling health-care system.

“The survey reveals a health-care system in profound crisis, with overwhelming consensus among emergency department physicians about the severity of challenges facing Ontario’s EDs,” the OMA wrote.

As Colin D’Mello reports, roughly 15 per cent of the emergency room physicians in the province responded to the survey — with the vast majority of those polled reporting issues.
