Reports of high average wait times at hospital emergency rooms across the country were punctuated by CTV News medical correspondent Avis Favaro's latest story focusing on the dire consequences long wait times at crowded ERs can have on patients.

In light of studies showing patients admitted to ERs are waiting longer to get into an acute care bed, CTVNews.ca has collected wait time data over a recent time period from a selection of hospitals in cities across Canada, to give you a snapshot of the wait times Canadians are dealing with.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure I had a heart attack in early 2021, so in the morning I called my Dr and she just told me to go to emerg. But emerg's were backed up for 24+ hours due to another wave of COVID and I lived out of town on a farm.

Didn't even try to go then, and after it was too late anyway.

Pallister really screwed up our healthcare and Heather has done absolutely nothing to fix it.
