High call volume is a problem for paramedics not only here in Alberta but right across Canada. There have been 85 code zeros(no available ambulances) in Hamilton so far this year( as of Oct, 2, 2017), which the city says is a 42 per cent increase over this time last year. Catherine Terry, 71, died of a heart attack during a code zero alert on July 10. It took 28 minutes from the time of initial call for paramedics to get to her. WAKE UP CANADA! You deserve better healthcare than this.
