Thousands of surgeries may be cut in Metro Vancouver, leaked paper reveals

Dix said a Vancouver Coastal Health Authority document shows it is considering chopping more than 6,000 surgeries in an effort to make up for a dramatic budgetary shortfall that could reach $200 million.

Maybe she will plan ahead next time. Or get off her ass and walk the 100m (a little more than 100yards) to the hospital when she goes into labor instead of sitting around.

Thousands of women are having to give birth outside maternity wards because of a lack of midwives and hospital beds.

The lives of mothers and babies are being put at risk as births in locations ranging from lifts to toilets - even a caravan - went up 15 per cent last year to almost 4,000.
