Speaker 0: My name is doctor Natalie Sinyantou, and I've been a family physician for 17 years. Alberta's health care system is in crisis. It is unacceptable for Albertans to wait 12 months for an MRI for a suspected cancer or to be in constant pain because their knee surgery had to be postponed yet again. These are just a few examples of what some of my patients face. And behind the scenes, the efforts family physicians make advocating to get the health services our patients need, What our Canadian health care system should already provide is time consuming and exhausting, much of it occurring after hours and going unpaid. The mounting administrative burdens and moral injury we face on a daily basis leaves less room for patient care, the job that we love and are trained to do. Family physicians and our specialists and hospital colleagues are burned out. I implore the Alberta government to listen to Alberta family physicians To fix our health care system in a meaningful and positive way, the health of Albertans and the health of Alberta doctors depends on it.
