https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3xRz_iypLIPerfect storm of blue hair senior staff who have been hanging on for too long burn out, COVID restrictions, and a supply chain collapse that is compounded by war. Thus replacement staff (even TEMPS) are 500% more expensive than before. Hospitals run on shoestring budgets are snapping and the system itself is in crisis mode. We can't supplement with foreign trained staff either as own training requirements have never been updated and are piecemeal at best. Standards are not harmonized even province to province. Forcing people into the PRIVATE sector and thus undermining the public pool of manpower required to maintain the system. The private sector not a stopgap either as it is focused on the low effort and standardized procedures leeching manpower and has become an attractive drain from staff who are burnt out but not yet ready to retire.
