Alberta

After three deaths were reported in one day in the emergency room of Grey Nuns Community Hospital in Edmonton, physicians are calling from action from the province.

In addition to the widely publicized death of 44-year-old Edmonton father Prashant Sreekumar after waiting in the ER for eight hours on Dec. 22, the Globe and Mail reported Thursday that two others also died while receiving active care in the same ER that day.

Since then, physicians across the province have been sounding the alarm about a crisis in Alberta hospitals.
