Hundreds of Saskatchewan patients waiting for surgery will get their proce-dure sooner, thanks to $10 million in new funding from the provincial gov-ernment aimed at lowering surgical wait times.

Approximately 1,700 additional sur-geries will be performed before the end of March 2020 to improve health care for Saskatchewan people. These surgeries include cataracts, hip and knee replace-ments, gynecological surgeries, dental, and ear nose throat procedures.

In addition, the number of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) cardiac procedures will grow by 60 per cent. TAVI is an option for patients who require aor-tic valve replacement and are not candi-dates for open-heart surgery. Thirty addi-tional procedures will be performed this year, for a total of 80. TAVI will be avail-able in both Saskatoon and Regina to minimize the need for patient travel where possible.

“I read the personal letters from people waiting for surgery and cardiac proce-dures, and I assure you that reducing the length of time people wait for their proce-dures is a priority for our government,” Health Minister Jim Reiter said. “We are committed to improving wait times, and this investment is a positive step in that direction.”

To meet the March 2020 target, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) will increase surgical hours in hospitals and also increase contracted volumes with third-party facilities.

“We welcome the announcement of this additional funding to reduce surgical wait times in Saskatchewan,” SHA Provincial Head of Surgery and Fred H. Wigmore Professor Dr. Ivar Mendez said. “As surgeons, we feel it is crucial to provide timely surgical care to the people of Saskatchewan.

“The first phase of the surgical initia-tive started in 2010 and propelled our province to the forefront of surgical care in Canada, significantly diminishing sur-gical wait times. It is our hope that these additional resources will reignite this pathway and that the average citizen of the province could expect timely access to surgery.”

The majority of surgeries will occur in Regina and Saskatoon where some of the longest wait times exist, but will be expanded in other centres as well, including Lloydminster, Prince Albert and Moose Jaw.

Significant improvements have been made to surgical wait times since 2007. The Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative, introduced in 2010, experienced great success in providing surgical care over a five-year period.

Since 2015, the Ministry of Health and the SHA have closely moni-tored the number of patients waiting for surgery. Wait times have been increasing again due to additional patients needing surgery, not due to fewer surgeries being performed in Saskatchewan.

A man walks into a bar and orders three beers. He takes a drink out of one... sets it down. Takes a drink out of the second... sets it down. Takes a drink out of the third one... sets it down and repeats this process until all three beers are gone. The man then leaves.

On the same day the following week he is back and does the same thing with the three beers. This goes on for a month or two. The bartender is get-ting curious. The next time the man comes in, the bartender says, “I don’t mean to be nosy, but why do you drink from three beers at one time?”

The man says, “When my two brothers and I lived close, we would go to the bar every week and have a beer together. Now we are all married and have moved far away. We all agreed that wherever we are, every week, we will each go to a local bar and have three beers to remember old times.”

The bartender nods and goes on. The man finishes his three beers and leaves. A month later the man comes in and orders only two beers. He takes a drink from one... sets it down. Takes a drink from the second beer... sets it down, and repeats this process until the two beers are gone. This goes on for about a month and the bartender gets curious. The next time the man is in the bar, the bartender inquires, “I don’t mean to be nosy, but what happened? Did one of your brothers pass away or something?”

The man says, “Oh, no, nothing like that. It’s just that my wife said that I couldn’t go to the bar and drink anymore... but she didn’t say anything about my brothers.”

Having a Beer ...
