Underfunded. Both doctors and nurses are incompetent by choice or we only get the bottom of the barrel. They regularly forget about patients for HOURS. There will be no sleep nor rest, it's the loudest place around. Not much better than prison I reckon

We need private hospitals. Wait times for government run hospitals a disgrace

The WORST healthcare ever! Average wait time is in excess of 8 hours in the ER. 1 Doctor is supposed to be there...quite ofyen there isn't one thus the extended wait time. Wait over 8 hours just to be seen...another 2 after that. They also engage in drawing blood in the waiting room and doing covid tests. They are a pure joke! Drive to Minnedosa or Souris instead if you can. Could bleed to death in Brandon.

To: âThe Law Doesn’t Care About Loveâ writer. If you happen to see this, know that you are not alone in your struggle. I went through this too. BRHA ignored the rights of a 2nd proxy/advocate. They choose to only listen to the wishes of the proxy/advocate whose self-serving/damaging/against-the-expressed-wishes-of-my-parent decisions suited their own agenda; not only ignoring love, but also the law. The frontline staff was (mostly) wonderful, but management were extremely self-serving and unethical. I too grew up in the Brandon area, but moved out of province. My message to the people of MB: Fight for your rights. Research what they are and insist that medical professionals are held accountable to them. You and your loved ones have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and with adherence to both provincial and federal law. The highest law in Canada is the Canadian Constitution. Use it along with the provincial and other federal laws. They were the only road to victory for my family member. You deserve better.

The Law Does Not Care About Love
I grew up in Brandon, Manitoba (MB); although, I now live out of province. My intent in writing this letter is two-fold: to address my thoughts concerning Power of Attorney (POA) law in MB and its affect on various families, but to also speak up for my beautiful Mom whose ability to speak for herself has been taken away. I am also allowed no voice, so this letter is my only recourse. I am very close to my Mom, who is now elderly. I contacted her regularly 2 to 3 times a day to check on her well-being as she had nobody consistently or regularly checking on her that she could rely on. However, this ended abruptly a few months ago when she had a near-fatal fall. However, in her case, she has a Living Will, which clearly states her wishes should something like this happen to her. This should be her voice today. But, disturbingly, it is not.
I have been told that, sadly, not always do POAs carry out the individual’s wishes, nor strive to work in cooperation with the other POA, should two be chosen. Nor is it uncommon for POAs to use unfortunate circumstances to carry out their own wishes and use their new-found “power” to inflict retaliation on others. The position of a POA is an entrusted honor, not a legalized weapon. In MB, if the two POAs chosen do not agree on a decision, which should be made according to the individual’s wishes, the MB Power of Attorney Act states that the POA whose name is listed first gets to make the decision. This, unfortunately, can lead to abuse of power never ever intended by the individual who made the choice to have two POAs in the first place. Sometimes two POAs are chosen so as not to offend the birth order, even if only one POA has ever clearly proven to be consistently honest, dedicated, and committed to both carrying out the wishes of the individual and to communicate, include, and involve all family members. It is very disturbing to hear of experiences where:
-a POA is hand-picked outside the individual’s wishes by the “powers-that-be” to be the “primary” POA, whether stable or not, thus empowering that one POA to set up roadblocks/barriers every step of the way for the rest of that individual’s loved ones, including the other POA;
-institutions, shamefully choosing a deaf-ear approach, aid/empower their choice of a “primary” POA in attempts to isolate the individual from the rest of his/her loved ones at an already anxious and heartbreaking time; or
-a POA is able to plant doubts about the validity of a Living Will based on “sound mindâ yet has no qualms about lying or having cheques/loans issued for personal gain before and after the Living Will was signed, to eventually be expunged by the estate.
In my situation, my mother is my family. She is my life, just as I am her life (as she told my two sisters and me recently). She is not a piece of property and I will never beg, haggle, or barter for my right to see, contact, or be concerned about her wellbeing as if she were just a piece of commodity. She is my mother and I have every right to have access to her and to take care of her. I will never be shamed nor bullied by anyone into walking away from her. Lies will never keep me from her and vandalism will not intimidate me into disappearing from her life. I do not live in a world where there is “no fear, no guilt, no sin, no hell, no satan” because every single day brings complete contradiction to this utterly foolish philosophy. I believe strongly that love for one’s loved ones should always be greater than hate for those who cannot possibly live up to another’s ultimatums and I would hope that this integrity would be practised by all POAs everywhere. The law does not care about love but do not be fooled: love existed long before there was the law and love will continue to exist long after. When this chapter ends, make no mistake: there is an epilogue and it is titled âaccountabilityâ. Causing pain/suffering to others does come with a price. Hate never wins.
I am here for you Mom and I always will be, just as I know, without a doubt, that you will always be there for me waiting with open arms on the other side. Your life is so beautiful to this world and it matters to me. Your life is valuable and precious to me. You deserve only the best and you deserve to have your voice heard, respected, and not overridden. You deserve life and I will never give up on you. I will always love you Mom.

Disgusting attitude of staff in the Assiniboine Centre.

I am very disappointed in the “social worker Arun” at the Assiniboine Hospital. He doesn’t seem to give a dam _ about the patient or his/her family and seems to lack the skills needed for that position.
