Healthcare waiting to get help for an emergent problem.

Hi Marg
You may not remember me but I read you every day and spoke to you in the early days. I am trying to do my part but have been quite unwell over the past months since June 16. I had to have 4 surgeries over the summer in Trail BC as a hernia strangulated while hiking in that vicinity. The care was very good there and I recovered in Creston with my Partner where we share an acreage. Now I am back in Calgary and having some complications. Yesterday I had an appt with my Dr. She was running far behind so after waiting one hour the girl at the desk said she would still be quite some time so I rebooked for the soonest which was not for 3 days.  When I got home I felt the complication getting worse so at 9 PM I went to Sheldon Chumir where I waited until 1:30 am. When I went to Sheldon Chumir the wait was 2 hours. When I left Sheldon Chumir the wait was 6 hours and the nurse said I was up on the list but others could come up ahead of me. I felt I could not sit there all night waiting and of course the waiting room was very full. People were pulling dirty tricks to get ahead in line. I saw a group of young men push ahead of a couple who had been standing for some time and security allowed it to happen. This morning I tried to call my Dr to see if any sooner cancellations. None. I put in a call to the Surgeon who originally did my inguinal hernia which failed in 2021. Maybe they can help me but I doubt it. I am worried these new symptoms may cause further damage but my only option seems  to be to go and wait for hours and hours .
