and the rise of #healthcoaching
The President of the Canadian Medical Association said Canada’s #healthsystem it’s “collapsing around us”.
Former BC Premier John Horgan once said that the Province needs Federal help urgently to fix its “crumbling” health care system, which is buckling under the strain of trying to treat today’s sick.
The evidence of BC’s medical system unravelling is all around us.
More than 20% of British Columbians are currently without a family doctor, understaffed hospitals have been overwhelmed, and people are exasperated by the very long waits to see specialists.
While the number of people living in BC increased ~4% last year, a 2022 Hospital Employees’ Union found that more than 1 in 3 health-care workers may quit their jobs in the next two years, and almost half of doctors are considering reducing their clinical work.
Many nurses doing rounds in hospitals are looking for administration jobs, where the pay is higher, and the stress and potential angst from patients, and grieving relatives, is far less.
Right now there is a chronic disease epidemic in this country, with 70% of Canadians overweight or obese, and almost 10% of us living with diagnosed heart disease.
The fact is that modern medicine is in #crisis.
This is largely because of its transactional model.
A one-shot deal.
Your heart skips a few beats, you have a heart attack, or a stroke, and you seek out a specialist.
A short, intensive period of repair or cure follows, after which the parties go their separate way, usually forever.
