The momentum is undeniable now. It is clear that our communities will not accept these reduced services any longer.

I have experienced first hand the absence of a physician in the area. I have had a couple of severe anaphylaxis reactions while visiting my parents who farm in the area. I have been in the need of medication and a physician to SAVE MY LIFE. We stop at the local hospital for a dose of epinephrine and a tank of oxygen and then onto the next local hospital hoping and praying that the epinephrine was successful. The nearest hospital is at least 1 hour away. I was thankful to some wonderful nurses that treated me and thankfully I did not need to be intubated.
I have had the misfortune of having several family members require emergency transport and the nearest doctor was in Regina - over an hour away - not acceptable - nor is phoning around a 50 mile radius of health centres to find out the quickest appointment will be in 2 weeks - something has to change!
It is not fair to have our services cut due to political agendas. Just because we are a small community doesn't mean we don't count. We pay taxes just like everyone in this province but have chosen to live here. Also, a great point was brought up about the busy highway we live on- it is essential to have emergency services available in Craik and Davidson.
Having small children and no services or limited is of great concern, time is of the essence in emergency situations... I myself have been involved in a few accidents where ive needed to be transported to get, bones fixed and body parts stitched, when in pain and suffering should have been taken care of locally!!
The more services offered in rural locations the less pressure in larger urban centers will result. It's a win win for all residents of Saskarchewan!!!
I think I'm like other people we are clad to see M.J. get a new hospital BUT smaller than the one they have don't make sence,OH I should have said COMMON SENSE which is lacking with the Gov.not only in Health. Craik and soe other places in FIVE HILLS have newer hospitals and have staff to handle some emergencies then the Doc.on duty can forward them if necessary.We had some people last year that worked very hard to keep this hospital open but like everything in rural Sask. we have to fight for it.I think these C.E.O'S.should be ashamed of them selves for trying to close these places just for there personal wealth,convince me I'm wrong.REMEMBER COMMON SENSE We have a new group working to keep our hospital why not work together and make everyone happy.

Everyone has the right to full health services.
