I’m not quite sure who is ultimately responsible for licensing physicians in Canada, as there seems to be a whole bunch of different ones, but, whoever is in charge should pull this doctor’s license for malpractice

When a patient in her 70s came into the emergency department at Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson, B.C., Dr. Kyle Merritt had no idea hundreds of people were dying of heat across the province.
It was late June, and British Columbia was consumed under a heat wave that would soon go down as both the hottest and deadliest in Canadian history.
The head of the hospital’s emergency department, Merritt could see the aggravated toll the extreme heat took on patients battling multiple health problems at once, often with little money.
“She has diabetes. She has some heart failure. … She lives in a trailer, no air conditioning,” says Merritt of the senior patient.
“All of her health problems have all been worsened. And she’s really struggling to stay hydrated.”
So, basically like people have been experiencing for millions of years….with no thought of using AC
Like death by heat, doctors have traditionally struggled to clinically attribute mortality and severe illness to air pollution. For Merritt, this summer’s wildfire season changed all that.
When a patient came in struggling to breathe, Merritt knew the smoke — that hadn’t lifted from the region for days on end — had made a case of asthma worse.
For the first time in his 10 years as a physician, the ER doctor picked up his patient’s chart and penned in the words “climate change.”
Wildfires never happened prior to 1850, you know. Never. None. Cult.
Teach we now have billions of people on the planet
When things go bad as they have in the past it effects many more people
Do you have any empathy for them? Lack of empathy is one indicator of narcissism
