She knows what she’s talking about. Policy makers should listen.
Preventing Deaths in BC: Govt labs send up to 50% of test results to wrong clinics daily, delaying diagnoses & risking lives—govt’s known for years, done nothing. Govt ignores frontline workers, refuses this simple life-saving fix. 1/5
