Campbell's predicament is an unfortunate byproduct of the unpredictability of the unplanned surgery list, said Fraser Health Authority spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward.

"We're certainly sympathetic and understanding that that is not an ideal situation," said Thorpe-Dorward. "It must be very frustrating."

Then again it will be the Day Hell Freezes before any public employee will come out and say "Sorry, we FUCKED UP".
They might get a verbal warning or something awful.

Another victim of the severe employment crisis in the medical area, some doctors are getting horrendous amounts of overtime due to the lack of doctors/surgeons.

Hard to tax all your rich people when most of them live in the USA.
