The death of Prashant Sreekumar, an Indian-origin man, has highlighted critical issues within Canada's healthcare system. Sreekumar reportedly waited eight hours at Grey Nuns Hospital before collapsing and dying of an apparent heart attack, despite reporting severe pain and undergoing an ECG. This incident raises concerns about doctor and nurse shortages, as Canada's doctor-to-population ratio is below the OECD average. The publicly funded system, while extensive, faces challenges in timely patient care.
