I've been in the Royal Vic (Did I pronouce it right?), as well, as one other in Montreal that I forget the name. Been to one in Toronto, another in Kingston, and even one in Cambelford, ON too. Been married for 10 years and dealt with one hospital or another throughout those years for various family members.
All of these hospitals severely underfunded, and they also have staffing problems. I talked to one of the nurses back in May and they just can't find enough people, period. Why? They need to be paid better so that they have more people with incentive to get into the field. Their hospitals are just plain bad compared to what we have in the US. We have country clubs by comparrison.

PS. In Kingston last time (I was there in Feb), there is one Chemo doctor in in several hundred km (However far Toronto or Montreal is from there)! And they are scared he will leave! You should see the line up of patients just to see this one guy!
